You could use a `java.util.Timer` but better to use a [ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/409932/java-timer-vs-executorservice) — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Mar 19 '15 at 19:42

Look into using the Java Timer class. This class can execute a TimerTask for a specified interval.

Documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Timer.html

Example:

 import java.util.Timer;  //Be sure to import the correct Timer
 ...
 Timer timer = new Timer();
 timer.schedule(new CustomTimerTask(), seconds * 10000);

Your CustomTimerTask will be a class which extends TimerTask and implements a run method. The run method will be called every 10000 miliseconds as specified.
