Description

The groovy.time.*Duration classes make use of java.sql.Date, but there seems to be no justification for doing so.

java.sql.Date is basically the same as java.util.Date except for the toString() formatting. So the second assert fails while the first assert succeeds:

use (org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.TimeCategory) {

 Date dt1 = 0.days.from.now
 Date dt2 = new Date(0.days.from.now.time)

 assert dt1 == dt2
 assert dt1.toString() == dt2.toString() 
}
