Quartz 2.0.2 - Schedule recurrent event

Question

I'm lost In quartz 2.0 definition. I would like to schedule SimpleTrigger which will

• start at 12/20/2012 until 12/31/2017
• take place every three days

• will happen at 5pm.

       Date start = 12/20/2012;
       Date endDate = 12/31/2017;
       SimpleTrigger trigger = newTrigger()
                  .withIdentity("trigger3", "group1")
                  .startAt(startDate) 
                  .withSchedule(simpleSchedule()
                  .withIntervalInHours(3 * 24)                   
                  .build();
  

How can I add 5pm occurrence and endDate parameters to TriggerBuilder?

Answer 1

Try this:

Date start = 12/20/2012;
Date endDate = 12/31/2017;
SimpleTrigger trigger = newTrigger()
    .withIdentity("trigger3", "group1")
    .startAt(startDate) 
    .withSchedule(cronSchedule("* * 17 0/3 * *").build())
    .endAt(endDate)
    .build;

I haven't tested this myself, but this should work or might at least need some tweaks.
