So I have this class. We’ll call it ProcessBox. I have another class called Process that has a ProcessBox as a member variable. Then, in my main method I have an ArrayList of Process objects (each having their own ProcessBox). How would I go about making it so that my ProcessBox would update every x ms (where x is user specified. I already have the listener for inputting x done). Below is my ProcessBox class. This is what I wish to redraw every x ms (except a whole list of them).

import java.awt.*;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.LineBorder;

import java.util.*;

public class ProcessBox extends JPanel {
    GridBagLayout gbc_panel;

    public ProcessBox(Process p) {
        super(new GridBagLayout());
        gbc_panel = new GridBagLayout();
        gbc_panel.columnWidths = new int[] { 0, 0, 0 };
        gbc_panel.rowHeights = new int[] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };
        gbc_panel.columnWeights = new double[] { 0, 0, Double.MIN_VALUE };
        gbc_panel.rowWeights = new double[] { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
                Double.MIN_VALUE };
        super.setLayout(gbc_panel);


        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(110, 110));
        setMinimumSize(new Dimension(110, 110));
        setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
        setBorder(new LineBorder(new Color(0, 0, 0), 1));
        setSize(new Dimension(110, 110));

        String name = p.getName();
        int priority = p.getPriority();
        int minPriority = p.getMinPriority();
        ArrayList<Integer> times = p.getTime();
        Random r = new Random(System.currentTimeMillis());
        setBackground(new Color(r.nextInt(255 - 210) + 210,
                r.nextInt(255 - 210) + 210, r.nextInt(255 - 210) + 210));
