IMHO this is not a duplicate of JENKINS-992 ('Make batch task a project').
This issue is specifically aimed at the possibility of scheduling a batch task...
Please also see my comment on JENKINS-346: my view is that ideally, batch tasks could be used to implement different goals and associated schedules to the same job, therefore allowing for sharing the same code base/workspace between different 'sub-jobs', which would greatly reduce the no. of jobs needed to cater for all tasks that may need to be scheduled for a same job (e.g. normal build, release build and Sonar build, each running on different schedules but on the same codebase/workspace)
Issue #992 would fix this.
