Creating a TimerTask can not get easier than this thanks to groovy.

  • import java.util.timer.* is not required as java.util is already imported.
  • the run() is implemented as closure

To Run this:

groovy https://gist.github.com/kdabir/3176945/raw/timer_example.groovy

Raw
timer_example.groovy
def count = 0
new Timer().schedule({
println count++
} as TimerTask, 1000, 3000) //magic numbers are initial-delay & repeat-interval
