Re: [Springframework-developer] Spring scheduler?

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

Why not just take advantage of Quartz? It's free, and has an Apache/BSD 
style license.
  http://www.part.net/quartz.html
  http://www.part.net/quartz_features.html

We've been using it for a while with good results. Personally, I don't 
think it's a great idea to add functionality to Spring which duplicates 
existing projects that are out there and that have open licenses, 
_unless_ the Spring implementation has some clear advantages. In this 
respect, maybe what makes sense is some classes to integrate Quartz into 
Spring...

Colin
