Answer 1

Note the method scheduleAtFixedRate is used here

        // Current time label
        final JLabel currentTimeLabel = new JLabel();
        currentTimeLabel.setFont(new Font("Monospace", Font.PLAIN, 18));
        currentTimeLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.LEFT);

        // Schedule a task for repainting the time
        final Timer currentTimeTimer = new Timer();
        TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                currentTimeLabel.setText(TIME_FORMATTER.print(System.currentTimeMillis()));
            }
        };

        currentTimeTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, 0, 1000);
