if (msec > 0) {
 try {
 Thread.sleep(msec);
 } catch (final InterruptedException e) {

void pause()

pause(300);

void pause(double seconds)
pause

if (seconds <= 0)
 return;
long sleepT, waitUntil = System.currentTimeMillis() + Math.round(seconds * 1000.0);
do {
 sleepT = waitUntil - System.currentTimeMillis();
 if (sleepT > 0) {
 try {
 Thread.sleep(sleepT);
...

void pause(double seconds)
pause

if (seconds <= 0)
 return;
try {
 Thread.sleep(Math.round(seconds * 1000.0));
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
 throw new RuntimeException(e);

void pause(double timeInSec)
pause

long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
while (System.currentTimeMillis() < (start + (timeInSec * 1000))) {

void pause(final long time)
Causes the executing thread to pause for a period of time.

final long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
do {
 try {
 final long sleepTime = time - (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime);
 Thread.sleep(sleepTime > 0 ? sleepTime : 10);
 } catch (InterruptedException e) {
} while ((System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime) < time);
...

void pause(int i, String unit)
pause

try {
 switch (unit) {
 case "ms":
 Thread.sleep(i);
 break;
 case "s":
 Thread.sleep(i * 1000);
 break;
...

void pause(int millis)
sleeps for millis milliseconds, approximately.

try {
 Thread.sleep(millis); 
} catch (InterruptedException ie) {

boolean pause(int millis)
Puts the the thread to sleep

try {
 Thread.sleep(millis);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 return false;
return true;

void pause(int milliseconds)
pause

try {
 Thread.sleep(milliseconds);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
