What is your goal with discovering these rules? Assuming what you want is 
implementing a feature that recommends items to customers they are likely to 
buy:

Did you check the fpgrowth implementation already? Though it does not cover the 
temporal aspect you mention it might still be of value for you as it is capable 
of discovering items that are typically puchased together.

If you would rather personalize your offerings to the preferences of each of 
your customers you might be better of taking a closer look at the collaborative 
filtering implementations of Mahout.
