Thank you. I changed it and now it occurs every 5 secs as expected. I
have a question concerning calling this inner class from another
component. So now the inner class looks like this:
.
.
.
        static class AlertTimer extends Timer {
                AlertEntryPoint entryPoint = null;
                public AlertTimer(AlertEntryPoint alertEntryPoint) {
                        entryPoint = alertEntryPoint;
                }

                @Override
                public void run() {
                                scheduleRepeating(1000 * 5);

                                entryPoint.refreshData();
                }

        }

        @Override
        public void onModuleLoad() {
                AlertEntryPoint.AlertTimer timer = new AlertTimer(this);
                timer.run();
        }
.
.
.

And from another component I want to cancel the scheduler. How do I
get a handle on the instance of AlertTimer in the code below?

public class ImageButton extends PushButton {
.
.
.
        public ImageButton(Image image) {
                super(image);
        }

        void addDialogBox(Map data, int groupType){
                listener = new ClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(Widget sender) {
                                dialogbox.hide();

                                //start the timer again - how do i get the 
instance of AlertTimer?
                               ??????????????????????????
                        }
                };
