>
> DateUtils.toCalendar creates a Calendar using .getInstance(). This results in 
> a Calendar in the machine's timezone. The Date object passed in may not be in 
> that same timezone. Since the getTimezoneOffset method of Date is deprecated 
> a new version of toCalendar that accepts a TimeZone would be appropriate:
> {code:java}
>     public static Calendar toCalendar(final Date date, final TimeZone tz) {
>         final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(tz);
>         c.setTime(date);
>         return c;
>     }
> {code}
