Field Detail

J2SE_TIME_ACCURACY_MILLIS

public static final long J2SE_TIME_ACCURACY_MILLIS

We slacken assertions about time to account for precision of J2SE time API. On JRockit 1.4.2_10 and a Dell 520, I've seen this code: final long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis(); Thread.sleep(50); System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis()-t1); print out "47". I've repeated this with Thread.sleep(50, 0). Javadoc for System.currentTimeMillis() mentions its inaccuracy, and I think it's this method rather than Thread.sleep() that's so slack. Can't use System.nanoTime() as we can't assume J2SE 1.5. Value obtained empirically.
