| Provides classes and methods to work with dates and durations. |
| <p> |
| This includes: |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>DateUtils</code> - a set of static utility methods for working with dates |
| <li><code>FastDateFormat</code> - a replacement for <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> that is fast and thread-safe |
| <li><code>DateFormatUtils</code> - a formatting class for dates |
| <li><code>StopWatch</code> - a duration timer |
| </ul> |
| @since 2.0 |
| <p>These classes are immutable (and therefore thread-safe) apart from {@link StopWatch}.</p> |
