quartz-jobs.jar contains various optional Quartz job implementation classes that you can use in your application. There are jobs that can:

  • invoke an EJB method
  • run a native process (i.e. executable app/script)
  • invoke a listener if a configured file's "last modified at" timestamp changes
  • enqueue a JMS message in a configured JMS destination / topic
  • invoke a JMX bean method
  • send an SMTP message (email) to the configured recipient

For details, please refer to Quartz javadoc (check all classes in org.quartz.jobs package and sub-packages).
