I wouldn't recommend copying the Java interface verbatim. The
java.util.Date class was designed (in JDK 1.0) without regard for
localisation. In JDK 1.1, the java.util.Calendar class was added to fix
this problem. The combination of Date and Calendar works well in Java;
Date is fine for most purposes, and when you want calendar
functionality, you use the more heavyweight Calendar object. But as you
can see from the source code of Date, all its calendar functionality in
java.util.Date is deprecated. If you wanted to write something like
this from scratch, you probably wouldn't want to include any calendar
functionality in Date at all.
