27   * <p><strong>Date Validation</strong> and Conversion routines ({@code java.util.Date}).</p>
28   *
29   * <p>This validator provides a number of methods for validating/converting
30   *    a {@link String} date value to a {@code java.util.Date} using
31   *    {@link DateFormat} to parse either:</p>
32   *    <ul>
33   *       <li>using the default format for the default {@link Locale}</li>
34   *       <li>using a specified pattern with the default {@link Locale}</li>
35   *       <li>using the default format for a specified {@link Locale}</li>
36   *       <li>using a specified pattern with a specified {@link Locale}</li>
37   *    </ul>
38   *
39   * <p>For each of the above mechanisms, conversion method (that is, the
40   *    {@code validate} methods) implementations are provided which
41   *    either use the default {@code TimeZone} or allow the
42   *    {@code TimeZone} to be specified.</p>
43   *
44   * <p>Use one of the {@code isValid()} methods to just validate or
45   *    one of the {@code validate()} methods to validate and receive a
46   *    <em>converted</em> {@code Date} value.</p>
47   *
48   * <p>Implementations of the {@code validate()} method are provided
49   *    to create {@code Date} objects for different <em>time zones</em>
50   *    if the system default is not appropriate.</p>
51   *
52   * <p>Once a value has been successfully converted the following
53   *    methods can be used to perform various date comparison checks:</p>
54   *    <ul>
55   *       <li>{@code compareDates()} compares the day, month and
56   *           year of two dates, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
57   *           whether the first date is equal, before or after the second.</li>
58   *       <li>{@code compareWeeks()} compares the week and
59   *           year of two dates, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
60   *           whether the first week is equal, before or after the second.</li>
61   *       <li>{@code compareMonths()} compares the month and
62   *           year of two dates, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
63   *           whether the first month is equal, before or after the second.</li>
64   *       <li>{@code compareQuarters()} compares the quarter and
65   *           year of two dates, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
66   *           whether the first quarter is equal, before or after the second.</li>
67   *       <li>{@code compareYears()} compares the
68   *           year of two dates, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
69   *           whether the first year is equal, before or after the second.</li>
70   *    </ul>
71   *
72   * <p>So that the same mechanism used for parsing an <em>input</em> value
73   *    for validation can be used to format <em>output</em>, corresponding
74   *    {@code format()} methods are also provided. That is you can
75   *    format either:</p>
76   *    <ul>
77   *       <li>using a specified pattern</li>
78   *       <li>using the format for a specified {@link Locale}</li>
79   *       <li>using the format for the <em>default</em> {@link Locale}</li>
80   *    </ul>
