java.util.pagan.dateUtils
grrr.. i am once again pulling out my hair over the date implementations in java. After some research on the ever reliable source of google =p ive discovered that the reason that java months all start from zero (while everything else starts from one) is that Sun wanted to cater for lunar calendars. Seems they didnt want to discriminate against the pagan druid java programmers of the world. So countless numbers of regular coders are being frustrated to allow for the 3 times in history some1 needs to write a program which makes calculations based on the solstice.. or chinese new year, or greek easter.

makes sense to me .. i do love Sun ever so much... *hugs*

month = month - 1;
ack!!
month = month + 1;
grr!!!
