Java: while loop freezes program
<p>I'm making a game and i need to update the JProgressBar every 3 seconds. To do that i use a while loop. The problem is that my program freezes becuse of the while loop (i read it in other questions, they didn't help me to solve this). I don't know how to solve it. Here is my code:</p>

<pre><code>public static void city (String[] args){
        //loading some of the saveData (not all of it is made yet)
    try{
        File saveDataFile = new File("save.dat");
        Scanner saveDataSc = new Scanner(saveDataFile);

        int power = saveDataSc.nextInt();
        int people = saveDataSc.nextInt();
        int food = saveDataSc.nextInt();
        int wood = saveDataSc.nextInt();
        int iron = saveDataSc.nextInt();
        int stone = saveDataSc.nextInt();

        saveDataSc.close();

    } catch (FileNotFoundException ex){}
