How to make time "real time"?

Question

Hello folks,
im a newbie at JAVA and I was wondering if someone can help me with a problem.
Im trying to add time to website using the following:
Label lblTime = new Label("Time",Label.CENTER);
     int intHour = calCurrent.get(Calendar.HOUR);
     int intMinute = calCurrent.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
     int intSeconds = calCurrent.get(Calendar.SECOND);
lblTime.setText(intHour + ":" + intMinute + ":" + intSeconds);
It sets the time, but only the time when the applet loads. Is there any way to make it so the time changes in real time?

A thread/Timer & timer task.
Timer bobTheTimer = new Timer();
bobTheTimer.schedule( new TimerTask() {
     public void run() {
        lblTime.setText(intHour + ":" + intMinute + ":" + intSeconds);
   }, 1000, 1000 ) ;
