Hi Daniel, If you just want the date, and not the time, then JodaTime is probably better for you to use. Search the list archives for details.
The problem with Java timestamps is that they are very accurate and include things like Daylight Saving time and historical changes in time. This is good for some purposes, but not when all you care about is the date. You can work around this with Java timestamps by setting the time to 12:00 noon when you create the date. This will work as long as your app is not used across more than 11 hours of time zones. You can set the time with a formatter or in the setDate... methods of your EO.
