Package org.apache.commons.lang.time

Provides classes and methods to work with dates and durations.

This includes:

• DateUtils - a set of static utility methods for working with dates
• FastDateFormat - a replacement for SimpleDateFormat that is fast and thread-safe
• DateFormatUtils - a formatting class for dates
• StopWatch - a duration timer
