java date4j_DATE4J 日期和时间操作的Java工具

我们知道，在处理时间的时候，往往需要用到 Java 里的如下类：

1、Date and its subclasses:

java.util.Date

java.sql.Date

java.sql.Timestamp 2、The calendar and time zone classes:

java.util.Calendar

java.util.GregorianCalendar

java.util.TimeZone

java.util.SimpleTimeZone //(for use with the Gregorian calendar only) 3、The formatting and parsing classes:

java.text.DateFormat

java.text.SimpleDateFormat

java.text.DateFormatSymbols 这些处理起来是非常之烦的。如果用DATE4J处理就容易很多了。例子如下：

package hirondelle.date4j;

import java.util.Locale;

import java.util.TimeZone;

/** Examples of how to use date4j. */

public final class Examples {

/**

Run the examples, and output to the console.

Example output when you run this class:

Current date-time in default time zone : 2011-10-24 08:05:59

Current date-time in Cairo : 2011-10-24 13:06:00 (Monday)

Age of someone born May 16, 1995 is : 16

The 3rd Friday of this month is : 2011-10-21

Number of days till Christmas : 62

90 days from today is : 2012-01-22

3 months and 5 days from today is : 2012-01-29

Numbers of hours difference between Paris and Perth : 6

The number of weeks since Sep 6, 2010 : 59

This many seconds till midnight : 57240

Output using an ISO format: 2011-10-24T08:06:00

The first day of this week is : 2011-10-23

The number of years the JDK date-time API has been suctorial : 15
