026/**
027 * <p><b>Date Validation</b> and Conversion routines (<code>java.util.Date</code>).</p>
028 *
029 * <p>This validator provides a number of methods for validating/converting
030 *    a <code>String</code> date value to a <code>java.util.Date</code> using
031 *    <code>java.text.DateFormat</code> to parse either:</p>
032 *    <ul>
033 *       <li>using the default format for the default <code>Locale</code></li>
034 *       <li>using a specified pattern with the default <code>Locale</code></li>
035 *       <li>using the default format for a specified <code>Locale</code></li>
036 *       <li>using a specified pattern with a specified <code>Locale</code></li>
037 *    </ul>
038 *
039 * <p>For each of the above mechanisms, conversion method (i.e the
040 *    <code>validate</code> methods) implementations are provided which
041 *    either use the default <code>TimeZone</code> or allow the
042 *    <code>TimeZone</code> to be specified.</p>
043 *
044 * <p>Use one of the <code>isValid()</code> methods to just validate or
045 *    one of the <code>validate()</code> methods to validate and receive a
046 *    <i>converted</i> <code>Date</code> value.</p>
047 *
048 * <p>Implementations of the <code>validate()</code> method are provided
049 *    to create <code>Date</code> objects for different <i>time zones</i>
050 *    if the system default is not appropriate.</p>
051 *
052 * <p>Once a value has been successfully converted the following
053 *    methods can be used to perform various date comparison checks:</p>
054 *    <ul>
055 *       <li><code>compareDates()</code> compares the day, month and
056 *           year of two dates, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
057 *           whether the first date is equal, before or after the second.</li>
058 *       <li><code>compareWeeks()</code> compares the week and
059 *           year of two dates, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
060 *           whether the first week is equal, before or after the second.</li>
061 *       <li><code>compareMonths()</code> compares the month and
062 *           year of two dates, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
063 *           whether the first month is equal, before or after the second.</li>
064 *       <li><code>compareQuarters()</code> compares the quarter and
065 *           year of two dates, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
066 *           whether the first quarter is equal, before or after the second.</li>
067 *       <li><code>compareYears()</code> compares the
068 *           year of two dates, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
069 *           whether the first year is equal, before or after the second.</li>
070 *    </ul>
071 *
072 * <p>So that the same mechanism used for parsing an <i>input</i> value
073 *    for validation can be used to format <i>output</i>, corresponding
074 *    <code>format()</code> methods are also provided. That is you can
075 *    format either:</p>
076 *    <ul>
077 *       <li>using a specified pattern</li>
078 *       <li>using the format for a specified <code>Locale</code></li>
079 *       <li>using the format for the <i>default</i> <code>Locale</code></li>
080 *    </ul>
081 *
