How to make a Clock?

I want to execute a piece of code every [...] seconds/ticks.
Is that possible?

It's generally discouraged for performance reasons I think, look here though.

What are you trying to do? There is probably a better way of doing it without timers.

 

I heard that there is a function/event that i can define and set a timer.
And if it dont exists how can for example the plugin "Jail" control the time, the Player is jailed????

Use the bukkit scheduler. Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler() gives you what you need. Look at the apidocs for more information!
scheduleSyncRepeatingTask would be your solution.

 

Yeah!
That's what i was searching for.
Thanks a lot.
