You've got a couple of different topics in there.

1. To perform a task say every second or so use a timer. I'd recommend doing this in a thread but there are other options as well.

2. Call the container's repaint method, or if you're only concerned about the time element just change the text every time the timer kicks off.

Cheers,

See top part of http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/Timer.html for a simple example on how to use a timer for a swing component (update the label displaying the time inside the actionPerformed(...) method).Jukka

@Op. Ignore my link. I posted a Link to the wrong Timer. You should use either java.util.Timer or javax.swing.TimerKaj
