Date-Util API

This package contains the API for utilities that help to deal with date and time. The JDK comes with rich support for date and time. On the other side the APIs to do so are very poor. This package contains utilities to help you dealing with date and time.
The SimpleDateFormat is nice but unfortunately NOT thread-safe. For representation of date and time there is a common standard with ISO 8601. Therefore Iso8601Util comes with support to format and parse date and time according to this standard.
