Method Detail

createTime

public static Date createTime(String timeString)
                       throws ParseException

Makes it easier to create Date objects from strings without having to remember the symbols required for a SimpleDateFormat.

Parameters:

timeString - a time string in the format "dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss" (eg. 05-Dec-1999 20:04:15)

Returns:

a Date object corresponding to the date/time in the supplied string.

Throws:

ParseException

Parameters:

c1 -

c2 -

Returns:

the int field from the Calendar class at which the dates differ. This will be one of YEAR, MONTH, WEEK_OF_YEAR, DAY_OF_YEAR, HOUR_OF_DAY, MINUTE, SECOND, MILLISECOND, or null if there are no differences.
