Okay I have tried everything now. I still can’t get my timer to update!…Here is what I have so far..
Things I have tried so far:
A separate thread (Which worked but I really MUST use the java.swing.Timer)
Timer as seen below which is not working
java.util.timer.
Any suggestions would be helpful

Here is the sudoku board file if you want it for debugging…
package sudoku;

import java.util.Random;
public class Sudoku_Board {
private int Board[][];
public Sudoku_Board() {

clear();
}
public void print() {
}
public int[] validValue(int value, int row, int col) { // (-1,-1) invalid
int index[] = {-1,-1};
return index;
}
public void random_remove(Sudoku_Board obj) {
}
public void clear() {
}
public void generate() {
}
You have a
time.setVisible(false);but notime.setVisible(true);. It seems that you are making the label which displaysTime:as visible but the label which displays the actual time is never made visible.
