Lightweight Job Scheduling Framework for Java

Sundial is a lightweight Java job scheduling framework forked from Quartz (http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/) stripped down to the bare essentials. Sundial also hides the nitty-gritty configuration details of Quartz, reducing the time needed to get a simple RAM job scheduler up and running. Sundial uses a ThreadLocal wrapper for each job containing a HashMap for job key-value pairs. Convenience methods allow easy access to these parameters. JobActions are reusable components that also have access to the context parameters. If you are looking for a hassle-free 100% Java job scheduling framework that is easy to integrate into your applications, look no further.

Usage is very simple: Simply define jobs, define triggers, and start the Sundial scheduler.
