  • public class StopWatch
    extends java.lang.Object
    A stopwatch, useful for 'quick and dirty' performance testing. Typical usage:
     StopWatch sw = new StopWatch();  // automatically starts
     // do something here...
     sw.stop();
     System.out.println(sw.toString());   // print the total
     sw.start();  // restart the stopwatch
     // do some more things...
     sw.stop();
     System.out.println(sw.format(sw.elapsed()); // print the time since the last start
     System.out.println(sw.toString()); // print the cumulative total
