java 解析cron,对Java的cron库

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 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.

You can definitely make use of cron4j for cron expessions and scheduling.

also you might find this post from chirag interesting,

cronTrigger.getExpressionSummary()

Example:

CronTrigger t = new CronTrigger();

t.setCronExpression("0 30 10-13 ? * WED,FRI");

System.out.println(""+t.getExpressionSummary());

Output:

seconds: 0

minutes: 30

hours: 10,11,12,13

daysOfMonth: ?

months: *

daysOfWeek: 4,6

lastdayOfWeek: false

nearestWeekday: false

NthDayOfWeek: 0

lastdayOfMonth: false

years: *
