Date-Util API

This package contains the API for utilities that help to deal with date and time. For regular representation of date there are the common java datatypes Date and Calendar. However, they are totally awkward. A good alternative is joda time. Rescue will come with JSR 310 that unfortunately did not make it into java 7. Please also note the existence of Duration and DatatypeFactory as well as TimeUnit. However for additional purposes this package offers further datatypes.
