Now that we have PeriodicExecutor service, I'm thinking about the improvements. It would be awesome to support CRON expressions for job scheduling.
It's obvious that implementing CRON parser is a waste of time, but making Tapestry depend on Quartz is a no-go. I'd like to copy Quartz's CronExpression [1] class into tapestry-core. We did it already for JSON and some Apache Commons utilities. CronExpression would be definitely worth to do it again.
