you'll need to make your UpdateListener class an inner class of the one that defines updateTimer.

I guess, I need to make updateTimer be a global...^^"

Webstorm

Or you can pass it to your actionlistener subclass as a parameter, and store it in a member variable

Webstorm

class UpdateListener implements ActionListener
{
Timer timer;
public UpdateListener(Timer timer)
{this.timer=timer;}
...

not if you make your UpdateListener class an inner class of the one that defines updateTimer.

and if the UpdateListener class is a static inner class, updateTimer must also be static.
