Not all applications are driven by user input. Some applications need to execute without any user intervention probably running at the background at specified intervals. For instance, a Virus Scanner application will be running in the background once in 2 days. Another instance could be where a Software could connect to its server repository once in a day for any updates. In this article we will see how Spring provides integration support for JDK Timer and Quartz that facilitates in writing job scheduling applications. The first half of the article draws an example for writing an application that uses JDK Timer with Spring support. The later section of the article discusses in writing an application that uses Quartz scheduling with some basic level of understanding done of cron expressions.
Title :
The Java 6.0 Compiler API

Date : Sun Apr 1st, 2007
One of the cool features available in Java 6.0 (Mustang) is the ‘Java Compiler API’. This API is a result of the JSR (Java Specification Request) 199 which proposes that there must be a standard way to compile java source files. The result of the JSR is the new ‘Java Compiler API’ and one can use this new feature to compile java source files from within java files. Previously developers were depending on the low-level issues like starting a process representing the javac.exe. Though this feature is not intended to every one, Editors or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) can make much use of this new feature for compiling Java source files in a better manner.
