Good point! Instead of complaining about it, the best way is to come up with a better way ourselves. Unless of course we can persuade Sun to do it for us ;-)
Mind you, Roedy Green already has a BigDate package (if I remember the name correctly) and I was starting to think about using it before I finally figured out the date stuff that I needed to know. Maybe that would meet your needs. Personally, I've resisted going that way because I didn't want to use something "non-standard" if at all possible. But that's just me. As for the tutorial you saw on dates, I'd be curious to know where it is. I don't remember seeing much of anything about dates in the Java Tutorial but maybe you mean some other tutorial. I figured out most of what I've learned about dates from Google posts where people were discussing problems and that was not the nicest way to do it.
