To skip reading, view my summary, otherwise here is my problem:

I would like to create an object (using a jLabel) move by itself without key inputs, and I do not know how to do this. For example I want to make a person walk left, turn around at a certain point and walk back and repeat the process forever.

Needed:

I just need to know how to make a thread change the position of a jLabel and make it move around until I want it to stop. A link to any simple examples or questions on how to make a moving jLabel would also be suitable.

Summary:

• I want to make a jLabel move in the background automatically "forever"
  


• I think it needs to be a thread and timer, but I do not know how
  to make a simple coded example.
  


• 
  Code or links to good examples will be suitable
  

Thanks for looking at my question.

Here is the solution

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

    //Simple example of how to count to infinity. Same logic applies just the 'to do 

    //code' is different

    public class moveObject extends Thread{

        public void run() {

            int count = 0;

            while (true) {

                TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);

                //Make object walk or other to

                //do code here for example:

                System.out.print(count++);

            }

        }

    }

The reason why it works, I am not to sure about. But it works :D
