Re: [Springframework-developer] Scheduler update #2

[Cameron B. <ca...@da...>]

At first I was thinking that the better approach was to include an 
'out-of-the-box' plugin for quartz, since it is a system that I have 
used before.

though after reading the Chronos manual, I think that something really 
simple like that may be a very good idea.

I would still like to see spring provide support for Quartz :)
