title: How to schedule a periodic task in Java?
body: <p>I need to schedule a task to run in at fixed interval of time. How can I do this with support of long intervals (for example on each 8 hours)?</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently using <code>java.util.Timer.scheduleAtFixedRate</code>. Does <code>java.util.Timer.scheduleAtFixedRate</code> support long time intervals? </p>
