Solution

Quartz 2 APIs are changed a lot, and someone already filled a bug report on Spring JIRA. At this moment, “Spring 3 is NOT COMPATIBLE with Quartz 2“.

Here are 3 alternatives :

Use Quartz 1.8.5, Spring 3 is integrated great with Quartz 1.x, classic and stable also.
Do not use Spring’s QuartzJobBean for integration, uses Quartz’s interface / class directly.
Last, what else? Please wait for the bug fixed.
