java.util.Date is compatible with GWT. Probably your IDE will complain
about deprecated methods. But they are not for GWT. So you probably
will end up with a lots of '@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") // GWT
requires Date' before your method declaration.> 1. Get today's date. new Date(); > 2.

Date date = new Date(); date.getDay() gives you the current day in the week. date.getTime() gives you the time in milliseconds since 1/1/1970 date.setTime(date.getTime() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) sets the date to yesterday > 4.

(A friend recommended this) Computing the difference of two dates is straightforward long millisDiff = end.getTime() - start.getTime(); > 6. Are we seeing any updates coming for working with dates?

To finish you can take a look in the package com.google.gwt.user.datepicker.client http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/#svn/trunk/user/src/com/google/gwt/user/datepicker/client to see how GWT guys seems to work with dates. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
