Is it safe to upgrade Jboss 4.0.5 quartz jars to Quartz 1.8.3 ?

Question

Hi

I would like to upgrade the quartz version from 1.5.3 which is on the jboss to the currently latest 1.8.3.

Testing it by replacing the old jar with the new and it's dependencies Jboss started just fine and I was even able to execute a scheduled job.

Should I be aware of any backward compatibility issues?

Thanks

I think this is probably fine. JBoss doesn't make heavy use of Quartz, I doubt it pushes the API particularly hard.

If it works for you, then go for it.
