Part-II: OwnCron-A lightweight Java Tool ...Leverage Scheduling your Java Business logic an out-of-the-box way

In continuation to https://www.garudax.id/pulse/owncron-a-lightweight-java-tool-leverage-scheduling-your-sengupta, let us now face the reality: that Business Codes are never in a simple Java class but rather we may expect them to be packaged within one or more JAR files .

To test the above readily, please download the JAR and the library JAR , and modify the above command according to locations on your files system where the
