+/**
+ * Task that can be run at a later time if given to a Timer.
+ * The TimerTask must implement a run method that will be called by the
+ * Timer when the task is scheduled for execution. The task can check when
+ * it should have been scheduled and cancel itself when no longer needed.
+ * <p>
+ * Example:
+ * <pre>
+ *  Timer timer = new Timer();
+ *  TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
+ *      public void run() {
+ *      if (this.scheduledExecutionTime() &lt; System.currentTimeMillis() + 500)
+ *          // Do something
+ *      else
+ *          // Complain: We are more then half a second late!
+ *      if (someStopCondition)
+ *          this.cancel(); // This was our last execution
+ *  };
+ *  timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, 1000, 1000); // schedule every second
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * Note that a TimerTask object is a one shot object and can only given once
+ * to a Timer. (The Timer will use the TimerTask object for bookkeeping,
+ * in this implementation).
+ * <p>
+ * This class also implements <code>Runnable</code> to make it possible to
+ * give a TimerTask directly as a target to a <code>Thread</code>.
+ *
+ * @see Timer
+ * @since 1.3
