Does spring-cloud-dataflow provide support for scheduling applications defined as tasks?
<p>I have been looking at using projects built using spring-cloud-task within spring-cloud-dataflow. Having looked at the example projects and the documentation, the indication seems to be that tasks are launched manually through the dashboard or the shell. Does spring-cloud-dataflow provide any way of scheduling task definitions so that they can run for example on a cron schedule? I.e. Can you create a spring-cloud-task app which itself has no knowledge of a schedule, but deploy it to the dataflow server and configure the scheduling there?</p>

<p>Among the posts and blogs I have looked at I noticed the following:</p>

<p>Some of the Q&amp;A afterwards hints at this being a possibility, with the reference to triggers, but I think this was discussed before it was released.</p>

<p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.</p>
