Is there a way to increase the progress bar value at a specific pace while not monitoring progress of a task?

I just wanted to add a progress bar to my program for aesthetics and not actually monitoring a task progress. I'm using the Jframe progress bar.

for(int i=0; i<=100;i++){


  jProgressBar1.setValue(i);

}

im currently using this code but it fills up the progress bar immediately. Is there a way to slow it down without using Thread.sleep? Thanks.

yes, add Thread.sleep to it and most importantly execute the code on a background thread. – luk2302 Jan 20 '18 at 17:01

Why do you not want to use `Thread.sleep()`? That is actually the solution. – Progman Jan 20 '18 at 17:30
@luk2302 how would i do this in a background thread? when i do it in the main thread, it pauses the entire program – fsxflyer789 Productions Jan 20 '18 at 20:07
`setIndeterminate(true)`? – trashgod Jan 21 '18 at 15:25
use this good [example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48144967/how-to-asynchronous-trigger-jprogressbar/48147638#48147638), and by changing `Thread.sleep(value_in_millisec);` you can control the `JProgressBar` progress delay. – ArifMustafa Jan 21 '18 at 16:27
