Description

In Java 8 there are new classes in the "java.time" package that are much better and easier to use than some of the old date/time classes. Now, our CalendarDate and Time classes are reasonably good, and using GregorianCalendar is still robust, but it would make sense (at least) to be able to construct instances of our classes from LocalDate, LocalTime and LocalDateTime, and to construct instances of these new classes from our classes to facilitate interaction with new applications using these Java 8 features.
