I don't think I can really comment on the idea of it being a tiny bit of something larger. You may be 100% right, and this functionality would be rolled into that, but I do think this comes up for people enough that it might be nice to have sooner rather than later, even if with the understanding that down the road it will be expanded greatly.
I did find your concern about ints interesting though, and I wanted to explain my rationale for that... Very simply, I think the most common usage of this type of function will result from wanting to know if a given Calendar object's time falls within a given range. Since the Calendar's get method returns an int, it seems logical to me. In addition, I think a simple (relatively simple anyway) comparison of ints is the easiest way to accomplish this function. I would be interested to know how you would envision it being done with something other than ints.
On the servlet thing... I originally mentioned these additions probably three months ago. The same thing basically was said about the status of the project as what you said. It was mentioned (I forget by who frankly) that submitting these could be the impetuous for getting a first release out the door. That might be a little too hopeful frankly, but it couldn't hurt, as you kind of say :)
Thanks again for taking the time to look and comment!

Commented on the DateUtils one a bit earlier.
On 33825, my view is that it's a tiny bit of something larger (DateRange) and that we should get it in the planning for 3.0, but that there's more than enough discussion to go on to try and get it into 2.1.
On the servlet one, I'll take a look. [servlet]'s status is as a vague collection of methods, slowly collecting to be worthy of release, so anything's worth adding I reckon.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
I just wanted to drop a line and kind of tickle some devs on two tickets I had opened:
[lang] 33825 - New methods for DateUtils [servlet] 33676 - SessionUtils and new methods for RequestUtils
Just curious to see if anyone had looked at them (there are no comments posted on them, but that doesn't necessarily indicate no one has looked at them). Thanks!
