Database monitor and general theory help!

[hyyp]

I'm trying to teach myself Java (for the past week). Anyway, I have a JFrame with a six text areas (each inside a scrollpane). Each text area is populated by running a query on a local access db and posting the results to that area. Currently, to do this, I just have a refresh button that, when clicked, goes to an event which calls all of the individual private voids that query / update the text areas. The source is like this (I'm going to leave some of the bulk out):

This is the code I have been trying... It works, but I can't figure out how to implement a swing timer. I would like to be able to set an amount of time (2 min, 5 min, etc) and have the program auto-update from the database. Right now I use a refresh button. I want to make this program a lot better (implement custom database queries, run reports on the database, etc...), but I don't really "know" Java. Do the individual parts that update each text area need to go in separate classes? I'm a bit lost.

        UpdateProdAreaOne();

        UpdateProdAreaFive();
        UpdateProdAreaSix();
 
    }               
 
    //There are five other private voids like this but it seemed silly to put them all in here.
