Duration.millis symbol not found?

Question

I'm new to JavaFX, especially the built in API, which is the Timeline

But I wanna add a timer for an event using Timeline

                Timeline timeline;
                timeline = new Timeline(new KeyFrame(Duration.millis(2500),
                        (evt) -> {
                            System.out.println("hello");
                        }));
                timeline.setCycleCount(Animation.INDEFINITE);
                timeline.play();

error: cannot find symbol Duration.millis(2500), symbol: method millis(int) location: class Duration 1 error

This is the full code of it, just wanna test out the timeline thing to create a timer for an event.

In this case, I try to add a simple println "Hello" to see if it works, but it doesn't.

Why do you believe that [`java.time.Duration`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/time/Duration.html#method.summary) has a `millis()` method? The **documentation**, i.e. the javadoc, doesn't list one. — Andreas, Mar 11 '19 at 17:02
@Andreas because s/he should use the fx version of Duration ... :) — kleopatra, Mar 11 '19 at 17:03
You are using the wong `Duration` class. Have a look on your import and use this [one](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/util/Duration.html). Aside note : using swing in the fx application thread is a terrible idea. — Pagbo, Mar 11 '19 at 17:03
@kleopatra omg this works! since im new to this Timeline things, I just click whatever the NetBeans suggest me to import, didn't realize that it suggest the wrong. Thanks so much!! :) — dongdong, Mar 12 '19 at 00:20
