SET TIME OUT with TIMER

Neither the java.util.Timer or the javax.swing.Timer class has a timeout feature. Hence, no setTimeout() method, and no enable of that feature.
Now... By timeout I am assuming that you mean some sort of results return when the task is not completed within a certain amount of time. Unfortunately, you will have to implement this yourself.
Have your long running task periodically check a certain flag, say some sort of abort flag. If the abort flag is set, then it will have to exit cleanly. You will then need another timer task which will set this abort flag, and report that the timeout occurred.
And BTW, this timeout task can't use the same java.util.Timer -- so create another one. You shouldn't be executing long running tasks in a javax.swing.Timer, so I will assume you mean java.util.Timer.
