Gary Gregory commented on LANG-400:
-----------------------------------
IMO, this is not realistic, [lang] should not end up will all of the features
everyone needs in order for people to just one library (or a small set of
libraries) It would be a shame and wasted effort if lang duplicates features
from other open source libraries. The Date topic can grow into size and
complexity rapidly. Personally, I would rather not have date features start to
leak in and continue to grow over releases until we end up with the functional
duplication of Joda-Time in lang.
> Add DateUtils methods to implement before and after time-insensitive

> Key: LANG-400
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-400
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Reporter: Paul Benedict
> Fix For: 2.4
>
>
> The JDK contains Date.before() and Date.after() but no time-insensitive
> versions exist. I am typically in the situation where TIMESTAMP columns are
> converted into Date instances and I need to compare dates only for business
> rules.
> I propose to complement DateUtils.isSameDay:
> DateUtils.isBeforeDay
> DateUtils.isAfterDay
> My private implementations convert Date to Calendar, zero-out the time
> elements, and then compare.
> PS: I would also deprecate isSameXXX methods in 2.4 and rename it to
> isEqualXXX since sameness usually implies instance equality, rather than
> object equality.
