I am looking for a cron expression library in java. Something that can parse cron expressions and return me future fire times for the trigger.

API on the lines of.

    CronExpression cronExpression = new CronExpression("0 30 4 * * *");
    List<Date> fireTimes = cronExpression.getFireTimes(todaysDate, nextWeekDate);

I don't want to use something as complicated as quartz. The purpose is to basically use cron like a regex for timings. That's all. I do not want a background scheduler.

I tried googling but wasn't able to find anything very helpful. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards, Pulkit

P.S - I looked at using the CronExpression class out of quartz. Wasn't very helpful - failing some tests.
