Version of akka-quartz scheduler for akkaVersion = "2.3.6"

[Soumya Simanta]

I'm currently using Akka 2.3.6 and would like to use the Quartz Scheduler. 

https://github.com/typesafehub/akka-quartz-scheduler

The github page says: 

Current Built against:

* Akka 2.0.x
* Akka 2.1.x
* Akka 2.2.x

Is there a version of Quartz-scheduler that works with Akka 2.3.6 ?

Maintenance of akka-quartz-scheduler has stalled, and the project is looking for a new maintainer.

Regards,

Patrik

Thanks.

 Is there a replacement for this functionality? 

Currently I'm using the Akka scheduler. I was planning to move to quartz but looks like the future of quartz is still not clear.

There is nothing magical about the relationship between a scheduler and actor messaging, you can pick any solution that you want and just have the jobs that you schedule send messages as desired. Our reasoning behind not maintaining akka-quartz-scheduler is that other implementors that concentrate on (persistent) scheduling will likely do a better job at this aspect than we could.

So, if quartz does what you need, why don’t you just use quartz directly? The main reason would probably be that the Java API needs to be wrapped—as Brendan did—to be nicely usable from Scala, but that is not a huge obstacle; you might just copy excerpts from github into your project to get started quickly.

OTOH if there is enough demand for this wrapper, then we’re hopeful that some people step up to maintain the Akka integration.
