Why are you catching Exception?
consistency. it's what i've been catching elsewhere in the class.
Nothing in that block throws Exception.
following that argument, nothing in that block throws RuntimeException either. in fact, i've been in java's Date/Calendar/Format classes enough to know that the only thing we could really get here is IllegalArgumentExceptions.
NullPointerException is also a possibility.

I'll leave things as they are for consistency's sake (I'm not going to change all the other users), but I'm not a fan of the pattern.
