Timers and quite a lot code

Question

i have a certain piece of code that when i invoke it pressing a jbutton everything it's ok.
i execute it in a background thread .
but i want to schedule it to execute every minute let's say .
i tried both java.util.timer and swing timer to start the back ground thread but then my code executes more than one tme in a magic way for me. !!!!!!
i would be more than grateful if anyone could give me a hint.
i feel that the problem is because timers are designed to execute only small pieces of code
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Which schedule method did you use on the Timer? Some schedule methods are for repeated events, some methods are for onetime events.
