Regarding cron seconds support, there appears to be some difference in the syntax used between the UNIX cron tool and CRON Expression Wikipedia articles. According to the Quartz CRON Documentation however, seconds is supported.

Given the above, I would create three CRON Triggers to handle:

1. 2:15:00 - 2:59:59
2. 3:00:00 - 4:59:59
3. 5:00:00 - 5:19:59

Which would translate to (I believe):

1. * 15/1 2 * * ?
2. * * 3-5 * * ?
3. * 0-20 5 * * ?
