Henri Yandell commented on LANG-556:
------------------------------------

What about the TimeZone methods Paul - any value in them?

Any bugginess likely? [i.e. put into "Commons Time?"]

> It is often really useful to be able to get a date in one line of code, particularly in unit tests. It is also handy to be able to obtain the current time in a specified timezone.
> It would be great to have methods like these on DateUtils:
> Date now(TimeZone)
> Date nowUtc()
> Date createDate(int year, int month, int day) // local time
> Date createDate(int year, int month, int day, int hour, minute, int second) // local time
> Date createDateUtc(int year, int month, int day)
> Date createDateUtc(int year, int month, int day, int hour, minute, int second)
> Date createDate(TimeZone timeZone, int year, int month, int day)
> Date createDate(TimeZone timeZone, int year, int month, int day, int hour, minute, int second)
