/**
* <p><b>Time Validation</b> and Conversion routines (<code>java.util.Calendar</code>).</p>
*
* <p>This validator provides a number of methods for validating/converting
* a <code>String</code> time value to a <code>java.util.Calendar</code> using
* <code>java.text.DateFormat</code> to parse either:</p>
* <ul>
* <li>using the default format for the default <code>Locale</code></li>
* <li>using a specified pattern with the default <code>Locale</code></li>
* <li>using the default format for a specified <code>Locale</code></li>
* <li>using a specified pattern with a specified <code>Locale</code></li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>For each of the above mechanisms, conversion method (i.e the
* <code>validate</code> methods) implementations are provided which
* either use the default <code>TimeZone</code> or allow the
* <code>TimeZone</code> to be specified.</p>
*
* <p>Use one of the <code>isValid()</code> methods to just validate or
* one of the <code>validate()</code> methods to validate and receive a
* <i>converted</i> <code>Calendar</code> value for the time.</p>
*
* <p>Implementations of the <code>validate()</code> method are provided
* to create <code>Calendar</code> objects for different <i>time zones</i>
* if the system default is not appropriate.</p>
*
* <p>Alternatively the CalendarValidator's <code>adjustToTimeZone()</code> method
* can be used to adjust the <code>TimeZone</code> of the <code>Calendar</code>
* object afterwards.</p>
*
* <p>Once a value has been successfully converted the following
* methods can be used to perform various time comparison checks:</p>
* <ul>
* <li><code>compareTime()</code> compares the hours, minutes, seconds
* and milliseconds of two calendars, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
* whether the first time is equal, before or after the second.</li>
* <li><code>compareSeconds()</code> compares the hours, minutes and
* seconds of two times, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
* whether the first is equal to, before or after the second.</li>
* <li><code>compareMinutes()</code> compares the hours and minutes
* two times, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
* whether the first is equal to, before or after the second.</li>
* <li><code>compareHours()</code> compares the hours
* of two times, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
* whether the first is equal to, before or after the second.</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>So that the same mechanism used for parsing an <i>input</i> value
* for validation can be used to format <i>output</i>, corresponding
* <code>format()</code> methods are also provided. That is you can
* format either:</p>
* <ul>
* <li>using a specified pattern</li>
* <li>using the format for a specified <code>Locale</code></li>
* <li>using the format for the <i>default</i> <code>Locale</code></li>
* </ul>
*
* @since 1.3.0
