Thanks a lot people.

::)And...
I'll vote =) See, I'm that kind of purist/dreamer/madman? who is expecting a timer to be part of the core java classes on any machine,
although the solutions offered are really appreciated.

Hi there.
I am a new member to the java-gaming.org boards, which sounds like a very interesting board about Java.

So congrats and thankyous for the good work.

This said, could I start my journey through javagaming without a boring, perpetual, yet unanswered question about Java?
Yes, that question, exactly... timers.

Is there any chance to get an accurate timer for Java? The possiblity to profile the code accurately would be such a plus to me: I know there are alternatives to perform this task, but an accurate timer... my kingdom for an accurate timer =)
