Quartz for JRuby

From Quartz Scheduler's website

Quartz is a full-featured, open source job scheduling service that can be integrated with, or used along side virtually any Java EE or Java SE application - from the smallest stand-alone application to the largest e-commerce system. Quartz can be used to create simple or complex schedules for executing tens, hundreds, or even tens-of-thousands of jobs; jobs whose tasks are defined as standard Java components that may executed virtually anything you may program them to do. The Quartz Scheduler includes many enterprise-class features, such as JTA transactions and clustering.

Here is a quick blog post comparing the the Java version to the Ruby Version.

Usage

Install with

    $ gem install quartz-jruby

You need to require the jars included /java directory independently.

    require 'quartz'
    class TestScheduler
      include Quartz::Scheduler
      schedule(:say_hello_5, :every=>5.seconds) { info "every 5 seconds" }
      schedule(:say_hello_30, :every=>30.seconds) { error "every 30 seconds" }
    end
    TestScheduler.instance.run

If you use log4j in your app, quartz-jruby integrates with it as well.
