One convenient approach is to condition the property in an
AdjustmentListener:

   public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) {
       isAutoScroll = !e.getValueIsAdjusting();
   }

Thanks. I added that at the application level and it worked fine,
even without timers. As soon as I let go of the scroller it takes
off running automatically again.

scroller.getVerticalScrollBar().addAdjustmentListener( new
AdjustmentListener()
        {
        /**
         * detect user fiddling with the scroller
         */
        public void adjustmentValueChanged( AdjustmentEvent e )
            {
            userBusyScrolling = e.getValueIsAdjusting();
            }
        } );

The only mildly tricky part was trying to find out where I could do
an addAdjustmentListener.

I'm glad it was helpful. For reference, there's an sscce here:
