I have a need for a timer in my program which will be triggered at every n hours. Now because of a known issue which may happen once in a while there will be a stack overflow in that timer thread, causing that thread to crash. This also means that my timer is now no longer there.. <br />
<br />
What is the best way to prevent this? I know the stack overflow needs to be fixed, that is being worked on, however in the meantime, all I can think is another timer keeping track of the first timer.. I have had issues in the past when I have 2 timers then one of them fails to fire very quickly (no stack overflows then).. Pointers or suggestions? <br />

Multiple Java Timers...

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
