Grails: Register job from external library

Question

I need to separate a grails service into a dedicated lilbrary in order to use this service across many applications. This works fine for the service itself as I am able to register the service bean in the resources.groovy (see https://docs.grails.org/latest/guide/spring.html).

This service happens to use a quartz job to get some functionality triggered regularly. So naturally I would move this job into the library and need to register it in the main application. How can that be achieved? Thanks for you time!

Create grails plugin using this guide: https://docs.grails.org/latest/guide/plugins.html

Then in src/main/groovy/YOUR_PACKAGE/YourPluginGrailsPlugin.groovy you can add bean configuration in doWithSpring() method (in same as resources.groovy way).
