             Summary: need a version of DateUtils.toCalendar that preserves or sets TimeZone
                 Key: LANG-1255
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1255
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: lang.time.*
    Affects Versions: 3.4
            Reporter: Mike Calmus


DateUtils.toCalendar creates a Calendar using .getInstance(). This results in a Calendar in the machine's timezone. The Date object passed in may not be in that same timezone. Since the getTimezoneOffset method of Date is deprecated a new version of toCalendar that accepts a TimeZone would be appropriate:

    public static Calendar toCalendar(final Date date, final TimeZone tz) {
        final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(tz);
        c.setTime(date);
        return c;
    }
