I don't think you want to use longs--someone measured them at 250
times slower than JS doubles, or something like that. I think you
want the following:
public final class JSDate extends JSO {
protected JSDate() {
}
public static native create(double millis) /*-{
return new Date(millis);
}-*/;
// implement relevant date methods here, like getYear:
public native int getYear() /*-{
return this.getYear();
}-*/;
}
Not sure though--I haven't used the new overlay stuff myself, and I
typed the above directly into the browser without testing.
