i have one problem with java scheduler,my actual need is i have to start my process at particular time, and i will stop at certain time ,i can start my process at specific time but i can't stop my process at certain time ,how to specify the process how long to run in scheduler,(here i will not put while ) any one have suggestion for that.

Java Code:

import java.util.Timer;
    import java.util.TimerTask;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.*;
    public class Timer
    {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
        {
    	
    				  Date timeToRun = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
    				  System.out.println(timeToRun);
    				  Timer timer1 = new Timer();
    				  timer1.schedule(new TimerTask() 
    				   { 
    				     public void run() 
    				               {
    				 
    						//here i call another method
    						}
    					  
    				    } }, timeToRun);//her i specify my start time
    				  
    			   
    		    }
    }
