Its not about type of applcation. Whether it is console or GUI , it doesn't matter.
Thread.sleep will work for all..

I guess you have some mess in your code. Post your code if you want to resolve your issue...

don't use Thread#sleep(int) for GUI, because could be generated unexpected output to the GUI, that's for Thread, Executor

for GUI is there javax.swing.Timer

[JamesCherrill]

Sleeping in a Swing GUI usually stops everything from working by blocking the Event Dispatch Thread ("Swing thread") on which Swing handles everything. Its never a good idea. Use a javax.swing.Timer to implement delays and repeated processes.
