I need to repeat a task every 5 seconds in java, I’m creating a minecraft bukkit / spigot Plugin, so doing it with Java or using the bukkit api would both work great.
Code:
JavaScript
x
public void onEnable(){
getLogger().info("TBC Enabled");
//~~ the statement from here till the next note is what I want to happen every 5 seconds
for (Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
player.sendMessage("N/A");
}
//~~ end of statement I want to repeat every 5 seconds
}
Thanks for the help!

You can do what is called scheduling a repeating task, this example was pulled from the Bukkit forums.
JavaScript
Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// The statement you want to run every 5 seconds.
}
}, 0L, 100L); // 20 ticks = 1 second
Simply edit the comment in run with the statement you want to run and it should work fine.
