Java swing timers and pause program?

I'm trying to simulate waiting in a java swing application, so it's basically like this: the user presses a button (Already added an actionlistener) then the program basically makes a 5 seconds pause while working in the background, then when the 5 seconds have elapsed a window shows up. ( I know how to make the window). Basically I'm asking how do you work with swing timers? Is there a command like pause() that can be invoked?

You might get some ideas from TimerFrame. See also Using Timers in Swing Applications.

you might want to check this example from the docs:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/displayCode.html?code=http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/TumbleItemProject/src/components/TumbleItem.java

basically you can define an initial delay before it fires - in your case 5 seconds - and simply start it.
