Description

I'm submitting a patch for commons-lang's DateUtils to add a few methods that make setting various fields in a Date object a bit cleaner than "normal ways" I've seen it done. The methods behave exactly like the add* methods do, except the calendar that is used is set to non-lenient.

The patch doesn't contain much, just a few trivial methods I always carried around as an enhancement to commons-lang's DateUtils. Perhaps someone else will find these useful, or not. A patch to the DateUtilsTest is included as well along with output from running the test and the corresponding test suite.
