show JDialog every 30 seconds

For JDialog it exists the function toFront. How to implement the logic
to show the JDialog in the front of desktop every 30 seconds?

Maybe you could use a java.util.Timer.

This feature is likely to be very annoying for users isn't it? There are
more conventional and platform-specific means of drawing the user's
attention to applications that are awaiting their attention. In the case
of Windows that might be blinking the application's icon in the tool bar.

I made in Timer. Here the code:

int delay = 30000;
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
myDialog.toFront();
myDialog.repaint();}
}, delay);

but my dialog did not appear on the front of all windows.

I found the solution.

And thank you ever so much for sharing it with us instead of treating us like
your private, unpaid support staff.

This is a discussion group, not a help desk.

Your code is running on the wrong thread. See SwingUtilities.invokeLater.

Or use javax.swing.Timer instead of java.util.Timer.

Probably not necessary. repaint() certainly not and toFront() is a
method of Window and probably doesn't need to be called on the EDT.

Why would it not need to be called on the EDT?

There isn't anything in the Javadocs to indicate that Window is thread safe.

Window is an AWT component. No requirement to use the EDT on AWT
components that I know of.
