You don't want to wait because you'll lock the AWT Event Dispatch thread (the thread that does all the painting and mouse event handling for you). Have a look at a Timer object (read the API documentation) and possibly the SwingUtilities class and its invokeLater( ... ) method.

kind regards,

You can use the Swing Timer to time the 10 seconds.
Find out more on javax.swing.Timer

Example:

Timer timer = new Timer(speed, this);
timer.setInitialDelay(pause);
timer.start();
