RE: [ajug-members]: Wait()

["Brian Lee" <brian_a_lee@hotmail.com>]

You don't need to include anything since Thread is in the java.lang package.

Please note, that you really shouldn't use Thread.sleep(long) for displaying 
a wait screen to a user as this would be a UI function. Usually, I've found 
most of the time when you think you need a Thread.sleep() call, you really 
don't (or shouldn't).
