You don't really need a pom for this. You can create the jar from eclipse or simply by packaging the files. In this case, pom was added just to make it easy to build the jar and also to start a JIRA instance for testing

Btw, you might also want to look at this tutorial. Involves a little bit more work up front but then you don't have to modify the scheduler-config.
