To schedule an integration we now need to rely on specific connector options which leads to inconsistencies and maintenance cost so it would be nice to have a generic way to configure integration/flow schedulers.

• on UI side , we should have a generic section on the integration/flow editor to define scheduling options
• on model side, the integration model should have an additional type, like:

``

java
interface Scheduler { 
    enum Type {
       timer,
       cron
    }

    /__
     * The schedule definition according to the type, i.e.
     *  - timer: "1s"
     _  - cron: "0 0/5 12-18 ? _ MON-FRI"
     */
    String getDefinition()

    /__
     * The scheduler type
     */
    Type getType()
}


interface Integration {
    ...
    Optional[Scheduler] getScheduler();
    ....
}

`

- on backend side: as we do not need to expose the routes to end user anymore we can simple generate a standard camel endpoint of type 

timer

, 

scheduler

 or 

quartz` according to the configured scheduler type

@rhuss @kcbabo @chirino does it make sense ?
