Any relation between Quartz API and Joda Time API?

Question

Is it possible to create a date in JodaTime and then make Quartz schedule the job using the JodaTime object? Can we give a Period jodaPeriod to Quartz API in order to run a task

Answer 1

TriggerBuilder has a snippet of how to schedule a job by hand:

JobDetail job = newJob(MyJob.class)
         .withIdentity("myJob")
         .build();

Trigger trigger = newTrigger() 
         .withIdentity(triggerKey("myTrigger", "myTriggerGroup"))
         .withSchedule(simpleSchedule()
             .withIntervalInHours(1)
             .repeatForever())
         .startAt(futureDate(10, MINUTES))
         .build();

scheduler.scheduleJob(job, trigger);

You will have to do some conversion work for the startAt() and the withIntervalInHours()...you get the drift
