WebTimer

java.lang.Object
- com.alee.utils.swing.WebTimer

```
public class WebTimer
extends java.lang.Object
```
This timer is a small extension for standard javax.swing.Timer. Instead of running in a single queue it creates separate Threads for each timer and does not affect event-dispatching thread, until events are dispatched. This basically means that you can use any number of Timer instances and you can run them altogether without having any issues.
Also this Timer implementation offers a variety of additional features and improvements which standard timer doesn't have (for example you can dispatch events in a separate non-EDT thread and as a result avoid using EDT at all where it is not necessary).
