Java Timer

by

You can’t reuse a TimerTask as you’re doing here.

Relevant porition of Timer:

private void sched(TimerTask task, long time, long period) {
    if (time < 0)
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal execution time.");

    synchronized(queue) {
        if (!thread.newTasksMayBeScheduled)
            throw new IllegalStateException("Timer already cancelled.");

        synchronized(task.lock) {
            //Right here's your problem.
            //  state is package-private, declared in TimerTask
            if (task.state != TimerTask.VIRGIN)
                throw new IllegalStateException(
                    "Task already scheduled or cancelled");
            task.nextExecutionTime = time;
            task.period = period;
            task.state = TimerTask.SCHEDULED;
        }

        queue.add(task);
        if (queue.getMin() == task)
            queue.notify();
    }
}

You’ll need to refactor your code so that you create a new TimerTask, rather than re-using one.
