Java - A time delay

Going to Cali · 23 Feb 2006 at 18:21

I've made a gui that represents the controls for a factory process line. I've got three random number generators, one for choosing which sensor to select, one for setting the value of the sensor and finally a random generator that says how long the system should wait before next reading a sensor. So if my interval generator gives 25, how do I then make the system wait 25 seconds before it then selects a sensor and set's it's value?

You want Thread.sleep(long millis)

Its written in Java - why would you need a delay?
