quartz cron example

A concrete Trigger that is used to fire a JobDetail at given moments in time, defined with Unix 'cron-like' definitions.

For those unfamiliar with "cron", this means being able to create a firing schedule such as: "At 8:00am every Monday through Friday" or "At 1:30am every last Friday of the month".

The format of a "Cron-Expression" string is documented on the CronExpression class.
