Threaded Timer Class

[StrangerInBeijing]

I need to create a threaded timer class.

This class will start at each junit test and end when the test complete, but if the test does not complete in a certain time interval, it should fail the test.

Still very green to Java, so any help would be appreciated.

Something like this might work

public class Test
{
	private volatile Thread th;

	public Test(final int timeout)
	{
		th = new Thread(new Runnable()
		{
			@Override
			public void run()
			{
				try
				{
					Thread.sleep(timeout);
					assert false;
				}
				catch (final InterruptedException e)
				{
					e.printStackTrace();
					assert false;
				}
			}
		});
		th.start();
	}

	public void complete()
	{
		th = null;
	}
}

Thanks!
I did not use it (found the @Test annotation in jUnit have a timeout property, so been using that).
But do have to get to threading sooner or later (as I've switched to Java), so this will be helpful.
