Don’t use
Timer, tryScheduledExecutorServiceinstead. Combine a call toExecutors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutorwith a customThreadFactorythat creates the thread with the group you want. Of course, there’s much more flexibility available with executors and thread factories, but this most closely mimics the working of a timer (single thread per timer).
