I'd like a timer class that allows me to call:

.start() .getElapsedTime() .stop() .reset()

Does Java have such a class, or do I need to use my own (which I've already written).

From a best-practice point of view, I should use the Java class libraries classes if they exist, but I'm not sure whether this one does.

Can anyone give me a link to the javadoc for this class, if it exists?
