        /*
         * Creates a new timer. The associated thread does not run as
         * a daemon.
         */

        Timer timer = new Timer();

        Date scheduleDateTime = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 20000);
        System.out.println("scheduleDateTime = " + scheduleDateTime);

        /*
         * Schedules the specified task for execution at the specified
         * time. If the time is in the past, the task is scheduled for
         * immediate execution.
         *
         * Parameters:
         *
         * task - task to be scheduled.
         *
         * time - time at which task is to be executed.
         */

        timer.schedule(cleanUpTimerTask, scheduleDateTime);
        System.out.println("Timer has schedule the -------cleanUpTimerTask...");
    }

}

Output:

scheduleDateTime = Mon Jan 14 10:15:02 IST 2019
