if you don't want to use the underlying system's scheduler and prefer to go full java, some librairies offer cron-like scheduling capabilities, for instance Quartz.

I do not know about tomcat, but on Windows the way you schedule jobs is using the "at" command at the command prompt.

There is also another way, if you go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Scheduled Tasks. (May vary depending on which version of Windows you have.)
