   And I would be happy to work with you so that schedulers coexist :)

   I am sure it seems that way from your point of view. It is different
   from my point of view: it doesn't give me what I want, it forces me
   to think about things I don't care and it simply doesn't "feel" right.

   For the record, after getting suggestions from this list, I did
   attempt to wrap Quartz and use it from Spring. For a while I thought
   I'll do that but I gave up after learning more about it.

   In the end, I do believe that it is an overkill for most uses.

   It is an eternal question you are asking, to "buy or build". I am not
   against "buying" - I happily chose to use Spring over my own XML-based
   configuration mechanism because I believed it is better than
   anything I would be able to build. I don't think that way about
   Quartz.

   Both approaches have their merits. People will probably chose on or
   the other depending on the type of project they have.
