Annotation Type ScheduleWithFixedDelay

@Documented
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface ScheduleWithFixedDelay

Schedules the method to run with fixed delay, automatically.

For example, you want a method to do something every minute:

 @ScheduleWithFixedDelay(delay = 1, unit = TimeUnit.MINUTES)
 public class Bucket implements Runnable, Closeable {
   @Override
   void run() {
     // do some routine job
   }
   @Override
   void close() {
     // close operations
   }
 }

Execution will be started as soon as you make an instance of the class, and will be stopped when you call close():

Bucket bucket = new Bucket();
 // some time later
 bucket.close();

In order to be executed the class should implement either Runnable or Callable. In order to be closed and stopped, your the class should implement Closeable and its close() method should be explicitly called at the moment you want it to stop.
