I've debated that myself a dozen times. The main issue is that i've not had cause to use that particular function myself. I just added the getMonth() and getDay() methods as logical fellows of the getYear() method that i really wanted.
I could easily be swayed either direction, and either way, the documentation definitely should be improved. Anyone else have thoughts on this one? I'm actually leaning back toward the normal 1-based month and away from the j.u.Calendar's 0-based month right now. While the DateTool is in the generic package, it's primary use is probably in a view layer of an application, where it is more natural to present the human month value rather than the machine one.

Ah, one last thing (for now) about the DateTool that I forgot to mention: are we sure we want to keep the jdk zero-based behaviour for the month? If so we should recall that in the docs, rather twice than once...
