Description

please provide a date2calendar conversion convenience method like:

public static Calendar date2Calendar(Date date)

{ Calendar date2Calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); date2Calendar.setTime(date); return date2Calendar; }

This is especially useful in constructors where super() must be the first call, or whenever people want to reduce reoccurring code
