[SHARED-LDAP] new methods in DateUtils class

[Kiran Ayyagari]

hi guys,

   I want to add two new methods to DateUtils class for getting the generalized
   time string in a convenient way when providing a Date object or time as a
   long value

   waiting for your view(s) before committing it

   they look like below mentioned code

    /**
     *
     * @see #getGeneralizedTime()
     *
     * @param date the date to be converted to generalized time string
     * @return given date in the generalized time string format
     */
    public static String getGeneralizedTime( Date date )
    {
        synchronized ( dateFormat )
        {
            return dateFormat.format( date );
        }
    }


    /**
     *
     * @see #getGeneralizedTime()
     *
     * @param time the time value to be converted to generalized time string
     * @return given time in generalized time string format
     */
    public static String getGeneralizedTime( long time )
    {
        return getGeneralizedTime( new Date( time ) );
    }
