Loop according to time

I want to loop something according to time.

I.e. suppose if time right now is 12:00 AM

I want the loop to run every 1 minute till the time is 12:30 AM for
instance.

Pseudo-code below

While(Time != 12:30 AM) /// <-----
But I want this loop for run every minute
{ System.out.println("Time right now is " + time);
}

How would I code something like that in Java
?

Are you planning to apply that loop to make a post to
this group every two minutes? Please don't repost topics.

As to the need to 'loop on time', you might look to a
javax.swing.Timer.

or java.util.Timer if it's not for a Swing app.
