[JAVA] Ending a Timer


Question

I'm making a simple timer code that updates a variable every second, and repaints the screen with the correct second. However, if the game "ends", I want to stop the timer. If the game restarts, I'm resetting "seconds" to 0, however, it doesn't appear to wait a full second before running again. I'm not quite sure why.

public void startTimer()
{
	Timer timer = new Timer();
	timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask()
	{
		public void run()
		{
			if(endGame == false)
			{
				seconds++;
				repaint();
			}
		}
	}, 0, 1000);
}

The code is a modified form of what's seen here. I have another method resetting seconds to 0 when I want the timer to restart.

Thanks for the help.
