Update Date each second?

Hi fellow Java devvers :)

I've been trying to create a thread that would run the date object every 1 sec.. so far so good, It shows the time every 1 sec but i was wondering what is the better way of doing this? And also how do I print the date once and update the old one with the new date.

Thanks.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

import java.util.Date;

publicclass MyTestextends Thread{

public MyTest (){}

publicvoid run(){

for(;;){

try{

Thread.sleep(1000);

}catch (InterruptedException e){

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

Date currentDate =new Date();

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat =new SimpleDateFormat("h:mm:ss a");

String d = dateFormat.format(currentDate);

System.out.println(d);

}

}

publicstaticvoid main(String[] args){

MyTest m =new MyTest ();

m.run();

}

}
