Ok, fair enough. I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't sufficiently
prudent, but I still think this is a bit of functionality that many developers
could benefit from and
that it should be included with DateUtils
> Comparisons of Dates and Calendars to second precision

> Key: LANG-335
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-335
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Environment: Windows, JDK 1.6.0, Eclipse 3.2
> Reporter: Alex Marshall
> Priority: Trivial
>
> The o.a.c.lang.time.DateUtils should have functions for comparing dates and
> Calendars to only second precision instead of millisecond. The motivation
> for this is comparison of dates and Calendars in objects both before and
> after the objects have been committed to and retrieved from a database. In
> theory the objects should be equal if 'equals' is run on them, but in
> practice they are not because the date fields do not have exactly the same
> millisecond values after they've been persisted to a database since times in
> many databases are only maintained to second-level precision (and without
> TimeZone information in many cases, to boot!)
