Turbine scheduler service

[Dave]

I've put together a simple scheduler service and I'd like to get some input
from the group.

First, I'm currently using an external scheduler class from
http://www.bitmechanic.com (see
com.bitmechanic.util.Schedule). It has a GNU license.  (Why re-invent?)

Does anyone have any objections to this?

Here's the approach I've taken with it:

You create a scheduled job with an action like this:

public class SampleScheduledJob extends Action implements Runnable
{
    public void build( RunData data ) throws Exception
    {
        /* Could check here if you have the permission to start a Job */

       com.bitmechanic.util.Scheduler schedule =
TurbineScheduler.getInstance().getScheduler();

        /* Will run every five minutes */
        schedule.scheduleJob(this,300);

        System.out.println("Started scheduled JOB!");

    }


    public void run()
    {
        System.out.println("Executed scheduled JOB!");

    }
}

The singleton TurbineScheduler starts the scheduler (thread).  The scheduler
class maintains a queue of jobs
sorted by run time.

Is this what you had in mind for a schedule service?
