I am using Quartz with Java to schedule jobs. One thing is that i store cron expressions on a database and i would like to present them to a user but in a more readable form. So i was wondering if there is a utility that could convert a cron expression into a human readable string. Something like :

""0 30 10-13 ? * WED,FRI" will become "Fires at 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, and 13:30, on every Wednesday and Friday."
