Can I use Quartz Scheduler to launch my application?

Question

I have a Java desktop application that I'd like to completely exit, and schedule it to launch at a later date.

Is there any way of using Quartz Scheduler for this?

As far as I understand, Quartz requires a Java runtime to be running for it to activate.

I'd like the following functionality, and would not mind using another Java library to achieve this:

• Get/Set schedules for execution of a Java application.
• Be able to launch the application without having a Java runtime.
• Maintain a cross-platform codebase.

Yes you can, you need to wedge it outside the code.
