You can start some code with a time delay using TimerTask:

Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
    public void run() {
        invokeLater(); // This starts after [delay] ms 
        // and - if given - will run every [period] ms.
    }
}, delay, period);

You could solve your problem with this, though it won't be a pretty solution.

// edit: (see comments) you should synchronize accesses to the gui properly, else it will give you errors.
