Using an underscore in a job name, as below:

<quartz:inbound-endpoint name="TimerTester"
jobName="job_one"
connector-ref="MyTimer"
cronExpression="0 0/2 6-20 * * ?">

</quartz:inbound-endpoint>

Causes Mule startup to fail with this error:

Whereas setting the jobname like this:

<quartz:inbound-endpoint name="TimerTester"
jobName="jobone"
connector-ref="MyTimer"
cronExpression="0 0/2 6-20 * * ?">

</quartz:inbound-endpoint>

works fine.
