while (true) loops and an applet

Is there any way to something constantly changing or updating without a while true loop since in my program the applet will say it loaded but nothing will appear when when I use while(true).

Have you read the tutorial? http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/timer.html

Chances are that it is with what is being called from inside the while(true) --> not with the actual "while(true)" {{not that it is necessarily the best way to do it...}}

Okay, so how would you suggest that we run something that is constantly updating every 5 minutes or so? If there was a straight forward way to run a loop so that it doesn't crash or become an infinite loop.

What part of the first reply didn't you understand, or read?

Ummm, we had already seen it and had not found it helpful (hence why we are posting this question on the forum). We would like to thank you, however for your courteous contribution.

Well, here's the thing: given what you've described as what you want, that link should tell you exactly how to do it. So I conclude that you didn't read it, or didn't understand it.

Or is the problem that you're not using Swing? In that case use java.util.Timer.
