Comment on Tutorial : wait(), notify() and notifyAll() in Java - A tutorial By Jagan
I have a question. So here I have a progress bar, but it seems to not move. I needed a way to wait sixty seconds before it added a number to the value, so I went to this. I have no idea how to use this, and thought I was using it correctly. The compiler seems to disagree. Here's my progress bar code:

//makes the progress bar
JProgressBar Bar = new JProgressBar(0, 15);
int a = 0;
while (a <15) {
a = a + 1;
Bar.wait(60000);
notify();
}
Bar.setValue(a);
Bar.setStringPainted(true);
Bar.setBounds(700, 75, 206, 40);
Bar.setBorder(BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder());
contentPane.add( Bar );

what i'm focusing on is the while loop. inside that, the compiler is complaining about the wait line. Apparently I am using this wrong. How do I use it right?
