I haven't read the various Date/Time threads completely. (Cuz there's over 50 in just the last few days!)
But to me, putting these "Utils" into [lang] is a *bad idea*. This is the perfect opportunity to utilize the Commons charter with its focus on well-defined common components. Everyone agrees it would be great to have a new implementation of Calendar and DateFormat that's not on crack like Sun's. However, I don't see any correlation with the rest of [lang]. Where is the common use and common change that involves the rest of [lang]? How would these date/time items depend on other parts of [lang]? I always thought it was weird and problematic that Sun slapped Date and Calendar in [util] but DateFormat was in [text]. To me, if Commons packages date/time objects in [lang], we're just repeating bad practices. I'd much rather have an independent [DATE] or [TIME] or [DATETIME] package. Simple, clearly defined. If you need to use 'em, you import JAR, if you don't, you don't. Thanks, Chuck __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
