Answer 1

To my knowledge there is no standard facilities available in Eclipse to support "run code X at time Y", so you need to turn to operating system facilities.

If you can make a simple program launchable with "java -jar" you have many options. FOr Windows many different EXE-that-launch-jar products exist (we use winsw to launch java as services) and you can then use normal scheduling (eg at) to invoke your code.
