NullPointerException while deploying Quartz in Spring Boot

I am trying to use Quartz 2.2.1 with spring boot. Im trying to declare a scheduled task that is supposed to write some datas into a file. My Job is defined like below :

public class JobTask implements Job {

@Autowired
JobController controller;

@Override
public void execute(JobExecutionContext arg0) throws JobExecutionException {

                try {
                    controller.doPrintData();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
    }
}

And then :

public class StartJob {

  public static void main(final String[] args) {
    final SchedulerFactory factory = new StdSchedulerFactory();
    Scheduler scheduler;
    try {
        scheduler = factory.getScheduler();
        scheduler.start();
    } catch (SchedulerException e1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }


    try {
      scheduler = factory.getScheduler();

      final JobDetailImpl jobDetail = new JobDetailImpl();
      jobDetail.setName("My job");
      jobDetail.setJobClass(JobTask.class);

      final SimpleTriggerImpl simpleTrigger = new SimpleTriggerImpl();
      simpleTrigger.setStartTime(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 5000));
      //simpleTrigger.setStartTime(dateOf(12, 58, 00,06,05,2016));
      simpleTrigger.setRepeatCount(SimpleTrigger.REPEAT_INDEFINITELY);
      simpleTrigger.setRepeatInterval(5000);
      simpleTrigger.setName("Trigger execution every 5 secondes");

      scheduler.start();
      scheduler.scheduleJob(jobDetail, simpleTrigger);

      System.in.read();
      if (scheduler != null) {
        scheduler.shutdown();
      }
    } catch (final SchedulerException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (final IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

PS : I have tested my controller method 'doPrintData' and it works. But when I put it inside the execute method im facing the javaNullPointerException.

Spring Boot manages it for you. Remove the quartz dependency and just create a Service for having scheduled executions:

@Service
public class JobScheduler{

    @Autowired
    JobController controller;

    //Executes each 5000 ms
    @Scheduled(fixedRate=5000)
    public void performJob() {
        controller.doPrintData();
    }
}

And enable the task scheduling for your application:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableScheduling
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class);
    }
}
