Well, OK, perhaps not...

However, beware the Java Calendar object.  While DATE and YEAR are 1 based, MONTH is zero based!  If you're just doing a comparison with a known month, no problem.  However, if you're expecting a useful int value for construction a date string (like say for passing to a SQL server as part of a query), you may meet with a most unpleasant surprise.

It appears that MONTH was just designed with direct comparisons in mind.  However, there is no other decent way to get a MONTH int out of the object, and building a big case to figure it out is just silly.  Sure wish they would have just made it 1 based and avoided this goofiness...
