Re: Never Ending Java Program

Nigel,
Thanks for the tip. I changed it and it originally took about 260% of the
CPU. I ran the CRTJVAPGM command again and it took around 10 again.

I appreciate the help from everyone on this. I don't really have a need yet
for it, so I have time to play with it and attempt to have it run a little
better.

I think I need to look at the whole thing again anyway. I just ran it on my
PC and it was taking about 50% of the CPU.

Looks like it's time for me to start learning how to optimize Java.

Thanks to all,

James,

Aha, and there it is:
while (!false);

That's what's eating up all your CPU. The Timer runs creates its own
thread so there's no need to keep the thread that your main () method is
running in alive. You then need to change your
timer_ = new Timer (true);
to
timer_ = new Timer (false);

With this param as "true", the Timer thread WILL end as soon as the main ()
thread ends.

Hope this helps,

Nigel Gay.
