public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        int delay = 5000; // delay for 5 sec.
        int period = 1000; // repeat every sec.

        Timer timer = new Timer();
        timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask()
            {
                public void run()
                {
                    System.out.println("done");
                }
            }, delay, period);
    }
}
