Creating and Scheduling a TimerTask in groovy

README.md

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

timer_example.groovy

def count = 0

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