| Classes for easily manipulating Dates and times. While |
| <code>java.util.Date</code> has GDK methods for adding or subtracting days, |
| this is not so useful for different durations of time. |
| {@link groovy.time.TimeCategory TimeCategory} creates a simple internal DSL |
| for manipulating dates and times in a clean and precise fashion. |
| </p> |
| <h3>Examples</h3> |
| <pre> |
| use ( TimeCategory ) { |
| // application on numbers: |
| println 1.minute.from.now |
| println 10.days.ago |
| |
| // application on dates |
| def someDate = new Date() |
| println someDate - 3.months |
| }</pre> |
