I am looking for java library or open source that will do the following: Accept a Runnable task, and a specific time to execute it in the future, and execute it then. Do you know such?

---

You can use the java.util.Timer class to run a java.util.TimerTask. TimerTask imlements the Runnable interface

---

You mean something like scheduler? Try Quartz (doesn't use Runnable but Job).

Or try Java's ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.

---

Its already there in your standard JDK: TimerTask

I'm not sure if it's the software or the code you need but if it's just running a task you need then you could probably use CRON for *nix based systems and Task Scheduler for Windows.
