That's one of the issues, the timer doesn't run on the EDT, it just 
schedules its work on the EDT.

"Although all Timers perform their waiting using a single, shared thread 
(created by the first Timer object that executes), the action event 
handlers for Timers execute on another thread -- the event-dispatching 
thread."

It's not clear to me what "executes" is either, does that mean start() 
is called on a timer or a timer has reached the initial delay and called 
one of the event handlers?
