Tom Baeyens commented on JBPM-46:
---------------------------------

the fact that it supports clustering doesn't bring us new features, i think.  
we only use one transactional resource (jdbc connection) so that is easy 
clusterable.  but we should make sure that every job is only executed once.  i 
was thinking of using the jboss singleton for that.

i think the main beef of quartz is the fact that you can express complicated 
functions of time a la cron (only time).  this is something we don't need 
because our jobs are always related to process events rather then time.

another aspect is that we must be able to control the classloader because the 
classes that are scheduled could be versioned.  although this was one of the 
reasons why i thought quartz would be a problem, now i think this would be easy 
solvable.

how much KB (MB?) does it require in required runtime jars ?

but i'm always open for this discussion.  we should not be doing what already 
has been done.  why do you think we should use quartz ?

regards, tom.
