The strange thing is, Sun created the Calendar class to
replace the Date class because they thought Date was too
difficult to use! You are not wrong; Calendar is one of the
more difficult classes with which to work in Java.

Ok, thanks.. but why does not take care of this the
GregorianCalendar
(TimeZone)???
Anyway....
My problem now is that the " TimeZone.inDayligthTime(Date)"
does not
return a true value and the zone is in SavingTime. And i can
not find
any method that increase the time when it is in
"DayligthTime".
Is always so hard to use Dates on JAVA? Is there any new
version of
the Date and Gregorian Calendar? I'm finishing a big servlet
and I
can't belive that the hardest thing of all the project is to
put a
simple Date...
