I looked at the diffs, could not understand how it was fixed, but I will try
again.

The interface seem to be different. JDK Timer class does not seem
to have an equivalent of TimeTrigger interface. The implemention seems to be
similar not the API. :-(
JDK seems to have the TimeTrigger functionality rolled into their
scheduler - Timer object.

One could take the JDK 1.3 Timer classes and use them with 1.2 VM, either as
is or in a different package. So I think it should be possible to do this in
JDK 1.2.

Here is the addition to PeriodicTimer that would help a lot.
public long getStartTime()
{
return m_startTime;
}
public long getPeriod()
{
return m_period;
}
Would appreciate if someone could make these changes.
