It would be nice if to tell a thread to sleep for a number of millis, you had to call a method sleep on the thread Class, passing as an argument the number of millis!

What you should do is read the links provided you that answer the usual questions. Again, see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/sleep.html -- Canadian Mind Products, Roedy Green.

Writing Thread.sleep(1000); will result in the error I reported and be underlined in red in JBuilder, so something's wrong, and that's what I'm puzzled about!

Well, sort of. It can just give an exception, but Java requires that you acknowledge the possibility of an exception arising from any dangerous action. InterruptedException is one of the places where it makes the least possible sense, though, since it represents a programming bug for a thread to be interrupted when it wasn't expected. Nevertheless, InterruptedException was classified as a checked exception, so you have to abide by the rules. You don't have to catch the exception, though. Your other alternative is to declare it in a throws clause in the method declaration, to indicate you don't intend to handle the exception here and it should be passed on. -- www.designacourse.com The Easiest Way to Train Anyone...
