how to set Jframe for 5 second

Question

I'm using netbeans 7.1.1, to create a JFrame. I want to automatically dispose the JFrame 5 seconds after calling setVisible() . How can I do this?

Thread.sleep(5000); but it will wait for 5 second before show the JFrame. — Jayashri, Nov 05 '12 at 11:34

Please see [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13226164/how-to-move-jlabel-every-second/13226370#13226370) for nice example of Swing Timer. you would need to call `setRepeats(false);` on timer instance. — David Kroukamp, Nov 05 '12 at 12:51

HINT

Use Swing Timer to wait for 5 seconds before calling setVisible(false) or dispose() whichever way you want it implemented. Hidden/Disposed

Did u do your research on this? Seems straight forward.

new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {
    public void run() {
          // this should be final
          jframe.dispose();
    }
}, 5000);

Please Promote research !! avoid giving cooked up code samples. – Mukul Goel Nov 05 '12 at 11:47

Seems straightforward but with this approach you violate the Swing threading rules. Either wrap that `dispose` call in an `SwingUtilities.invokexxx` call or use a `javax.swing.Timer` – Robin Nov 05 '12 at 11:47
