I can't currently help with that one. Time permitting I'll see if I can

personal time is currently insanely busy.


I've popped a question up here:

 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8514725/obtaining-a-java-util-timer-or-equivalent-in-a-javaee-friendly-way-that-works-on

to see if I can get some broader input on the issue of portable timers.
