Often I found it painful working on dates when I had to find a past\/future date based on weeks, months or years.<\/p>\n
Groovy class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.TimeCategory has very helpful & intutive syntax for working on dates.
\nI am sure I need not to explain what each of the following statements will do:<\/p>\n
Date date = new Date()\r\n\r\nuse(org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.TimeCategory) {\r\n date = date - 10.seconds\r\n date = date - 10.minutes\r\n date = date - 10.hours\r\n date = date - 10.days\r\n date = date - 10.weeks\r\n date = date - 10.months\r\n date = date - 10.years\r\n}<\/pre>\n\u2013
