Java Clock

[poymode]

---

I am making a simple clock using Java that display......

The current time in hours:minutes:seconds and the current date.

I googled for this,but I get codes in applet form. I don't know how to start.

I have this code below that returns the date and time as a string. It get the local system time.
My problem is to display it in the GUI with the display moving.

I tried to put a Label in the GUI and set it with the returned value

TimeLabel.setText(DateTime.now);

It displays but its just stationary.
I tried to use an infinite loop on it but the code wouldn't build.

public class DateTime{
    public static final String DATE_FORMAT_NOW = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";

    public static String now() {
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT_NOW);
        return sdf.format(cal.getTime());

    }
}

Also, Can I use the returned String to insert in a MSSQL database?

if you like to see it running, you should use different threads...

java.util.Timer
java.awt.event.ActionListener
