Please review/comment on the updated cron editor in the continuum white site

Hi Everyone,

I submitted a patch for CONTINUUM-847 that updates the current cron 
editor field in the
scheduler for the white site (this is for the editSchedule.html page).

Any comments are welcome :)

Thanks,
Odea

Hey Emmanuel,

     No, upon further consideration, I realize that just leaving them
blank would do.  Sorry.

Christian.

With this screen, all quartz cron expression will be available because we'll reconstruct it by 
concatenation.

Do you think to an expression in particular?

It's quite nice.  I wonder, since there are some ways to construct cron
schedules that don't use all fields, if it makes sense to have an
"advanced" alternate ui that does away with the individual form values
and tries out the single string.  In general, however, I think this
interface is much harder to make mistakes with, which is more
important.  I just want to make sure we don't lose any quartz
functionality through an interface constraint.  Good job, though.

A slight variant might also work (attached).  It lays out the same form
horizontally, so that it's visually closer to the cron.

regards,
Christian. <ci...@israfil.net>

Can you add a link to http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/api/org/quartz/CronExpression.html, so 
users will know available formats for each fields, or add available formats near each fields

Re: Please review/comment on the updated cron editor in the continuum white site

It's a big improvement over the existing 1.0.3 page, but I agree that it
could use some default values as prompts for how to setup wildcards and
maybe ranges. Also, the link back to the OS Quartz page for cron expressions
would be a nice thing to have for additional information (like ranges in
values).

Thanks, this looks pretty good.

By looking at it I wonder if it should have a default in there like

0
0/5
*
*
*
*

or something for every 5 mins?
