Using SwingWorker and Timer to display time on a shortcut?

Question

I want the clock to show the current time and be updated every second. The code I'm using is:

int timeDelay = 1000;
ActionListener time;
time = new ActionListener() {

        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
            timeLabel.setText(DateTimeUtil.getTime()); 
            /*timeLabel is a JLabel to display time,
            getTime() is samll static methos to return formatted String of current time */
        }
    };
SwingWorker timeWorker = new SwingWorker() {

        @Override
        protected Object doInBackground() throws Exception {

            new Timer(timeDelay, time).start();
            return null;
        }
    };
timeWorker.execute();

That I want to update the text timeLabelin a different thread than EDT.
Am I doing it right? Any other better way?
In addition, for information I added timeLabelto extended JPanel, which contains several similar types of utilities and is called in another Main JFrame.

You can do this without SwingWorker, because that's what the Swing timer is for.

int timeDelay = 1000;
ActionListener time;
time = new ActionListener() {

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
        timeLabel.setText(DateTimeUtil.getTime()); 
        /* timeLabel is a JLabel to display time,
           getTime() is samll static methos to return 
           formatted String of current time */
    }
};

new Timer(timeDelay, time).start();
