Description

DateUtils.truncate() is great to get rid of all data except the most significant field. I suggest two new methods to perform comparisons of the like. This would be especially useful in integration tests with databases where precision is based on the column type (date vs. timestamps).

 
DateUtils.equals(Date d1, Date d2, int field);
DateUtils.compareTo(Date d1, Date d2, int field);
