[java] Weird code trick (inner class, presumably)

public void startTimer() {    TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {        // thanks to Java, we can override the run()        // method (or whatever else we wanted to)        // for this specific implementation of TimerTask        // on the fly.        public void run() {            // in this particular case, we modify it because            // we want this particular breed of TimerTask to            // call setStart() whenever it runs (whatever this            // does) instead of its usual behaviour            setStart();        }    }; // there - done. The rest of the TimerTasks in the    // source code, globally, will behave as normal. Only this    // one will be effected.    timer = new Timer();    timer.schedule(task, 3000); // schedule it to do whatever it    // does, and do it every 3000 milliseconds}

   addTimmerTask(new Runnable(){public void run(){setStart();}}, 3000);or better like this:   addTimmerTask("start", 3000);Inner classes and annonymous classes are very nice when you don't like to bother yourself with a something more complex, or stupid.buttonYUCK.addActionListener({new ActionListener(){             public void ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e){do some stuff}});

class Foo	extends JPanel{	private MouseAdapter mouse = new MouseAdapter()	{		public void mousePressed( MouseEvent e )		{			// stuff		}		public void mouseReleased( MouseEvent e )		{			// stuff		}	};	public Foo()	{		addMouseListener( mouse );	}}

public void startTimer() {  timer = new Timer();   // I assume this is a class member so that the timer can be  // stopped later. Otherwise you could just do  // "new Timer().schedule(<etc.>". :)  timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {     public void run() {      setStart();    }  }, 3000);}
