Oddjob is a task automation and scheduling solution.

Full Oddjob distributions can be Downloaded and Run from the Console

Or Oddjob can be started from your favorite IDE with this Maven dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>uk.co.rgordon</groupId>
    <artifactId>oddjob</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.0</version>
</dependency>

And this main org.oddjob.Main with

<oddjob>
    <job>
        <echo>Hello World</echo>        
    </job>
</oddjob>

saved as oddjob.xml in your projects Working Directory.

Oddjob can also be Embedded in your own applications.

The Reference Pages provide lots of details for configuring Oddjob's various jobs.

This is the main module for Oddjob, however extra functionality is provided via Oddjob plugins called Oddballs.

• oj-ant : Run Ant from within Oddjob

• oj-net : FTP jobs

• oj-mail : Mail jobs

• oj-ssh : SSH jobs

• oj-web : HTTP client and server jobs. Includes the server side for the web UI.

To build this module as a Shapshot you will first need to clone and Maven Install oj-parent and arooa.

oj-assembly provides a module POM capable of building all the Oddjob modules included in the distribution.

Other modules that contribute to the final Oddjob distribution are run-oddjob - the launch framework for Oddjob, oj-reactjs - the Web UI front end, oj-doc which builds the Reference pages amongst other things, and oj-examples which are examples and also the source of the Oddjob documentation.
