Timer (Jenkins core 2.452.4 API)

java.lang.Object
- jenkins.util.Timer

```
public class Timer
extends Object
```
Holds the ScheduledExecutorService for running all background tasks in Jenkins. This ExecutorService will create additional threads to execute due (enabled) tasks. Provides a minimal abstraction for locating the ScheduledExecutorService so that we can modify it's behavior going forward. For instance, to add manageability/monitoring. This is not an @Extension because it must be available before any extensions are loaded. Plugins should probably use one of the following as they provide higher level abstractions: AperiodicWork, PeriodicWork, AsyncAperiodicWork, AsyncPeriodicWork.
