https://code.quarkus.io/?extension-search=camel-quarkus-cron[Create a new project with this extension on code.quarkus.io, window="_blank"]

Or add the coordinates to your existing project:

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-quarkus-cron</artifactId>
</dependency>
----

Check the xref:user-guide/index.adoc[User guide] for more information about writing Camel Quarkus applications.

== Additional Camel Quarkus configuration

The cron component is a generic interface component, as such Camel Quarkus users will need to use the cron extension together with another extension offering an implementation.
For instance, one can use the xref:reference/extensions/quartz.adoc[Quartz Extension] and cron extension together in its project.
