Alternatives to Quartz for job scheduling

Question

Has anyone found any alternative open-source solutions to Quartz which they are happy with?

I know Cronacle is a well respected (and pricey) closed source solution for job scheduling but I'd like to make sure we exhaust the open-source alternatives before going down that route.

Answer 1

Did you already check all of those listed here?

Open Source Job Schedulers in Java

Answer 2

I did some looking a while back and was hard-pressed to find any open source Java-based job scheduler that seemed to have even a fraction of the reputation and usage of Quartz. I would be really curious to hear why Quartz isn't sufficient.

Answer 3

What about Flux Scheduler (http://fluxcorp.com/)?

Answer 4

How about Sun's own java.util.TimerTask?

I've seen too often that ones aren't aware about this and plain decided to go ahead with Quartz.
