Java Date Utility

JAVA DATE API

java.util.
Class Date
java.lang.Object
extended by java.util.Date
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Comparable, Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
Date, Time, Timestamp
public class Date extends Object
implements Serializable, Cloneable, Comparable
The class Date represents a specific instant in time, with millisecond precision.

 /*Substract Day/Month/Year to a Date

  roll() is used to substract values to a Calendar object.
  You specify which Calendar field is to be affected by the operation
  (Calendar.YEAR, Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.DATE).   

  Note: To substract, simply use a negative argument.
  roll() does the same thing except you specify if you want to roll up (add 1)
  or roll down (substract 1) to the specified Calendar field. The operation only
  affects the specified field while add() adjusts other Calendar fields.
  See the following example, roll() makes january rolls to december in the same
  year while add() substract the YEAR field for the correct result. Hence add()
  is preferred even for subtraction by using a negative element.
