Schedule Jobs in Java

I was looking for a good way to use the Java Timer and TimerTask classes to schedule jobs to run on a daily and weekly basis like a cron job in Linux/Unix. Well, After a little extra searching I came across this GEM of a project:  The cron4j Project

If your already familiar with cron syntax, this works like a charm!
