Any time a person introduces dynamic effects, animations, or time-based events to a Java application, he or she finds himself or herself re-implementing the same functionality he or she has written for every application that required timing or animation. The built-in APIs are powerful, but they require that one writes a fair amount of boilerplate code. This paper considers the current situation and what is needed in a timing framework. The paper refers to example code contained in a project posted on java.net: timingframework.dev.java.net, and covers the introductory material concerning the issues such as overview of the timing model, features in TimingController, and introduction to the code.
