I am trying to find an equivalent of Celery project for Java environment, I have looked at Spring Batch, but are there any better alternatives for distributed task queues.
Thanks.

What Celery is doing is very much akin to EIP, and SEDA with convenient task scheduling... (all you have left to do is add some DB, and async HTTP networking and you have got a complete enterprise quality stack).
Basically in Java there is the Spring way, the Java EE way, and the Hadoop way:
Spring: Spring Integration + Spring Batch + RabbitMQ
Java EE: Mule + Quartz or EJB Scheduling + HornetMQ
Hadoop: Capacity + ZooKeeper
Those are roughly in order of ease of setting up.
