/**
* <p>A suite of utilities surrounding the use of the
* {@link java.util.Calendar} and {@link java.util.Date} object.</p>
*
* <p>DateUtils contains a lot of common methods considering manipulations
* of Dates or Calendars. Some methods require some extra explanation.
* The truncate and round methods could be considered the Math.floor(),
* Math.ceil() or Math.round versions for dates
* This way date-fields will be ignored in bottom-up order.
* As a complement to these methods we've introduced some fragment-methods.
* With these methods the Date-fields will be ignored in top-down order.
* Since a date without a year is not a valid date, you have to decide in what
* kind of date-field you want your result, for instance milliseconds or days.
* </p>
