/**
 * A job
 *
 *
 * Property Types
 *
 * In general all scalar types and all serializable classes are supported as
 * property types. However, in order for deseralizing classes these must be
 * exported. Serializable classes are not searchable in the query either.
 * Due to the above mentioned potential problems, it is advisable to not use
 * custom classes as job properties, but rather use out of the box supported
 * types in combination with collections.
 *
 * A resource provider might convert numbers to a different type, JCR is well-known
 * for this behavior as it only supports long but neither integer nor short.
 * Therefore if you are dealing with numbers, use the {@link #getProperty(String, Class)}
 * method to get the correct type instead of directly casting it.
