Answer 1

For completeness, code below shows the simplest possible way to configure scheduler with java config:

@Configuration
@EnableScheduling
public class SpringConfiguration {

    @Bean(destroyMethod = "shutdown")
    public Executor taskScheduler() {
        return Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(5);
    }
    ...

When more control is desired, a @Configuration class may implement SchedulingConfigurer.
