Looping a method every 1/4 second

Question

I need to write a method that will loop another method
every 1/4 second. I'm not sure what syntax to use to make
it work with time. Can someone give me input? Thanks.

Have u looked at timers. There's
java.util.Timer;
and
javax.swing.Timer;
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/threads/timer.html

I did something like this to run a method every seconds in a app im making.
//Swing timer
Timer timer = new Timer(1000, new TimerListener()); //run every second
// This runs TimerListener() method every second after i call timer.start()
class TimerListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
if(whatever ur checking){
//bla blah
else{
timer.stop();
// clean up ...
If its not gui the tut suggest to use java.util.Timer;
