Subject: [jira] [Updated] (LANG-556) Add methods for constructing dates to
 DateUtils
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Henri Yandell updated LANG-556:
-------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: Commons Time?)
                   4.0

Assuming the new date/time library comes out with Java 8, and that Lang 4.0 is 8 dependent, we'll revisit all lang.time JIRA issues then.

> 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)
