Concurrency

I'm using the AMX one out of laziness. It is being called from a thread that is handling IP communication. I need the thread to pause until it is closer to the increment of a minute so that it can update time on a device that doesn't accept seconds. Currently this code runs in the timers thread so the offset across multiple threads becomes progressively greater. Can join be used with the AMX Timer? Doesn't it's thread keep running since all Timers use the same thread?

I was trying to use a CountDownLatch, but it is throwing an IOException when it encounters the await().

package com.ctsi_usa.duet.virtual.test.dr1_0_0;

import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch;

import org.osgi.framework.BundleContext;

import com.amx.duet.da.NetLinxDevice;
import com.amx.duet.devicesdk.Utility;
import com.amx.duet.util.Timer;
import com.amx.duet.util.TimerListener;

public class VirtualTest extends Utility{

	Timer timer1 = null;
	Timer timer2 = null;
	
	final CountDownLatch cdl = new CountDownLatch(1);
	
	TimerListener timerHandler = new InnerTimerHandler(cdl);

	public VirtualTest() {
		super();
	}

	/**
	 * @param bctxt
	 * @param nd
	 * @param props
	 */
	public VirtualTest(BundleContext bctxt, NetLinxDevice nd, Properties props) {
		super(bctxt, nd, props);
		timer1 = new Timer(timerHandler, 5000);
		System.out.println("timer1 started");
		Thread.currentThread().setName("VirtualTest main Thread");
		timer1.start();
		new Thread(new InnerRunnable(cdl)).start();
		
	}

	private class InnerTimerHandler implements TimerListener {

		CountDownLatch latch;
		
		public InnerTimerHandler(CountDownLatch latch) {
			this.latch = latch;
		}
		
		/* (non-Javadoc)
		 * @see com.amx.duet.util.TimerListener#handleTimerEvent(com.amx.duet.util.Timer)
		 */
		public void handleTimerEvent(Timer arg0) {
			if (arg0.equals(timer1)) {
				System.out.println("timer1 code ran in " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
			} else if (arg0.equals(timer2)) {
				System.out.println("timer2 cdl.countDown() running in " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
				latch.countDown();
			}
		}
		
	}
	
	private class InnerRunnable implements Runnable {

		CountDownLatch latch;
		
		public InnerRunnable(CountDownLatch latch) {
			this.latch = latch;
		}
		
		/* (non-Javadoc)
		 * @see java.lang.Runnable#run()
		 */
		public void run() {
			System.out.println("InnerRunnable Thread Started");
			Thread.currentThread().setName("InnerRunnable Thread");
			//cdl = new CountDownLatch(1);
			timer2 = new Timer(timerHandler, 8000);
			timer2.start();
			System.out.println("timer2 started");
			try {
				latch.await();
				System.out.println("code after cdl.await() running in " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
			} catch (Exception e) {
				System.out.println("cdl.await() Exception");
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
		}
		
	}
}

This code requires Master Firmware 4.x.x Java Libraries

This is the Output:
