java groovy 动态计算,在Java / Groovy中计算已用时间

I have...

Date start = new Date()

...

...

...

Date stop = new Date()

I'd like to get the years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds ellapsed between these two dates.

I'll refine the question.

I just want to get the elapsed time, as an absolute measure, that is without taking into account leap years, the days of each month, etc.

Thus I think it's impossible to get the years and months elapsed, all I can get is days, hours, minutes and seconds.

More specifically I want to tell that a certain task lasted for e.g.

20 sec

13 min, 4 sec

2 h, 10 min, 2 sec

4 d, 4 h, 2 min, 2 sec

So please forgive my lack of precision.

I've just discovered this quick Groovy-sourced solution:

import groovy.time.TimeCategory

import groovy.time.TimeDuration

TimeDuration td = TimeCategory.minus( stop, start )

println td
