Class Clock


  • public class Clock
    extends Object
    System-wide clock. This class provides current time. By default is only proxies the usual system current time functions. But it may be explicitly manipulated to artificially shift the time. This of little value for a running system but it is really useful in the tests. Especially tests that test time-based behavior. Using the Clock avoids changing the actual system time (or JVM's perception of time) therefore the tests are easier to use and usual tools still make sense (e.g. log record timestamps are correct).
