Several people, prodded by Glenn Nielson, discussed putting together a project to overcome the shortcoming of Date and Calendar, ranging from their pita to use-ness to their massive performance bottlenecks.

I know Glenn has had the flu so don't think he has gotten the ball rolling, but this might be a better place for the date related stuff you are talking about.

The following date generators in the o.a.c.l.t.Dateutils class might be useful. Requesting feedback.

public static Calendar getCalendarXxxAgo(int value)
public static Date getDateXxxAgo(int value)

Xxx = weeks, days, months, years, ...

E.g.,
Calendar jobJoinDate = DateUtils.getCalendarYearsAgo(10);

Likewise,

public static Calendar getCalendarXxxHence(int value)
public static Date getDateXxxHence(int value)

Calendar taskProcrastinationPeriod = Calendar.getCalendarDaysHence(3);

Further, the special cases of value == 1, may be provided as special methods:

getLastMonth(), getNextMonth(), etc.

Request feedback. I might want to implement this, thow getDateDaysHence(val) val could be high
