GRAILS-8921: Support for Scheduling via Spring's @Scheduled annotation

I'd like to see support for Spring's @scheduled annotation in Grails services.
See http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.x/spring-framework-reference/html/scheduling.html#scheduling-annotation-support-scheduled

Currently Grails 2.0.1 seems to not support @scheduled annotation in services.
If this annotation would be supported, there would be no need to use a separate plugin for this (quartz plugin) and scheduling would become much more simple in Grails.

For advanced scheduling needs (using a Quartz cluster to run jobs, for example) a plugin would still be needed, but supporting the @scheduled annotation would likely cover 90+% of use cases.

We should make a call on this as well whether we should implement our own version of @async that uses transformations. Introducing proxying is not ideal when we have just gotten rid of the proxying happening with @transactional

tried this again with 2.4.0.RC2 and now it seems its not working on services at all - no matter if static transactional = false or not... but its working as it should with "standard" src/groovy beans

zyro, Please attach a sample which shows a simple example of standard beans working and services not working. That would be helpful.
