Why is the scheduler bundle needed? Can't Sling use Quartz directly?
The scheduler bundle makes scheduling tasks much simpler than directly
using Quartz; it uses Quartz underneath but provides a simpler api and
more important uses the whiteboard-pattern to schedule tasks. This
allows you to write background components that have no dependency to
Quartz and only an indirect dependency to the scheduler bundle.
It always makes sense to abstract things like the uses scheduling
library; this allows to change the implementation without breaking
contracts.
