Create a "ScheduledThread" that periodically checks the current time, and
doesn't execute the Runnable's run() method until it's past the given
criteria. Then fire the ScheduledThread off like so:
java.util.Date = get_date_for_later(); // whenever that's supposed to be
new ScheduledThread(new Runnable() {
public void run()
{
}
}).start();
and forget about it until it's completed.

I describe how to do precisely this in my forthcoming book, "Server-Side
Java" ( http://www.manning.com/Neward3 ).

If you can't get it to work, I'll fire the code I came up with to you.
