Derek C. Ashmore commented on LANG-1246:
----------------------------------------

I can see that thought as XMLGregorianCalendar is in a javax package. Still=
 seems to keep in step with the stated Commons charter/mission. Is there a =
better place for this utility to reside?=C2=A0 I scanned the other Commons =
products and didn't find anything.=20

> I've frequently had a need to convert a Date (java.util) into a XMLGregor=
ianCalendar (javax.xml.datatype).  This need frequently comes up when codin=
g SOAP Web Service clients.
> Specifically, I propose a minor addition to DateUtils as follows:
> public static XMLGregorianCalendar toXMLGregorianCalendar (final Date dat=
e)
> XMLGregorianCalendar has the ability to convert itself to a Date, but not=
 the other way around.
> Rather than copy a utility to do this from project to project, I'd prefer=
 the utility be centralized.
> A pull request is forthcoming.  Thanks for looking at this.
