I'm looking for a library or helper class in Java that would allow me to perform date interval sum and subtractions.
For example, lets's say I have the following date intervals:
A = ["2015-01-01 00:00", "2015-01-20 00:00"]
B = ["2015-01-05 00:00", "2015-01-10 00:00"]
C = ["2015-01-11 00:00", "2015-01-14 00:00"]
D = ["2015-01-19 00:00", "2015-01-25 00:00"]
1 A 20
|----------------------------------|
|---------| |----------| |------------|
5 B 10 11 C 14 19 D 25
And let's say I'd like to calculate the following:
A - B - C + D = { ["2015-01-01 00:00", "2015-01-05 00:00"[,
]"2015-01-10 00:00", "2015-01-11 00:00"[,
]"2015-01-14 00:00", "2015-01-25 00:00"] }
1 5 10 11 14 25
|---| |---| |----------------|
I know I can build my own logic using pure Java, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel...
I was looking into Joda-Time, but I couldn't figure out how to perform such operations using it.
Thanks a lot!

I found exactly what I needed: Ranges, from the guava-libraries.
Works like this:
Range a = Range.closed(
new GregorianCalendar(2015, 0, 1).getTime(),
new GregorianCalendar(2015, 0, 20).getTime());
Range b = Range.closed(
new GregorianCalendar(2015, 0, 5).getTime(),
new GregorianCalendar(2015, 0, 10).getTime());
Range c = Range.closed(
new GregorianCalendar(2015, 0, 11).getTime(),
new GregorianCalendar(2015, 0, 14).getTime());
Range d = Range.closed(
new GregorianCalendar(2015, 0, 19).getTime(),
new GregorianCalendar(2015, 0, 25).getTime());
RangeSet result = TreeRangeSet.create();
result.add(a);
result.remove(b);
result.remove(c);
result.add(d);
System.out.println(result);
The code above prints:
[
[Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 BRST 2015‥Mon Jan 05 00:00:00 BRST 2015),
(Sat Jan 10 00:00:00 BRST 2015‥Sun Jan 11 00:00:00 BRST 2015),
(Wed Jan 14 00:00:00 BRST 2015‥Sun Jan 25 00:00:00 BRST 2015]
]
