Conclusion
In this article, I have introduced a simple enhancement to the Java timer framework that permits very flexible scheduling strategies. The new framework is essentially a generalisation of cron -- in fact, it would be valuable to implement cron as a ScheduleIterator interface to provide a pure Java cron replacement. While not offering strict real-time guarantees, the framework is applicable to a host of general purpose Java applications that need to schedule tasks on a regular basis.
