public class Timer

extends java.lang.Object

Timer measures the wall time (total lapsed-time) between the call to start and stop methods. Note that wall time is not the same as cpu time consumed by a process, particularly in a system that supports the threads on a multi-user system. Java claims time is measuered in milliseconds.
