I think that should be the ultimate goal since it does not make sense to maintain duplicate code (b/c a good portion of this new DateUtils in commons lang will be identical as we have said.) >The >DateUtils is what I am using as well.

We change the package name and add the cite saying this was originally taken from the jakarta-ant project. Also we do the same for their test cases (moving them to jakarta-commons-sandbox/lang/src/test/org/apache/commons/lang.) >I would say, start small, and make sure that as each piece of code is added, > Agreed. Lets just start with moving it first as mentioned above.
