Question

How can I setup a quartz.config file in a simple Java application?

I want to create this and reference it in my project so I can configure threads etc.

Thanks

Take a look at the Quartz Quick Start Guide to see what a basic quartz.properties file looks like. This file must be placed on your classpath, for Quartz to use it. Example:

org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName = MyScheduler
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceId = 1
org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.export = false
org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.proxy = false

org.quartz.threadPool.class = org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool
org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = 3

org.quartz.jobStore.class = org.quartz.simpl.RAMJobStore

Full documentation of available properties is available in the Quartz Configuration Reference.
