I am interested in finding out about other job scheduling packages besides Quartz and Flux. Given the plethora of web frameworks i find it perculiar that there is really only one scheduler. Are there others that perhaps are very much unknown/unpopular ?
Spring Batch Not really a scheduling solution but rather a batch job coordinator etc.

How does Spring Batch differ from Quartz? Is there a place for them both in a solution?
Spring Batch and Quartz have different goals. Spring Batch provides
functionality for processing large volumes of data and Quartz provides functionality for scheduling tasks. So Quartz could complement Spring Batch, but are not excluding technologies. A common combination would be to use Quartz as a trigger for a Spring Batch job using a Cron expression and the Spring Core convenience SchedulerFactoryBean .
