Hello,

In org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils, we can find StringUtils.equals(?,?). 
org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils should have the same. Like this :

    /**
     * <p>Compares two Dates, returning <code>true</code> if they are equal.</p>
     *
     * <p><code>null</code>s are handled without exceptions. Two 
<code>null</code>
     * references are considered to be equal.</p>
     *
     * <pre>
     * DateUtils.equals(null, null)   = true
     * DateUtils.equals(null, "abc")  = false
     * DateUtils.equals("abc", null)  = false
     * DateUtils.equals("abc", "abc") = true
     * DateUtils.equals("abc", "ABC") = false
     * </pre>
     *
     * @see java.util.Date#equals(Object)
     * @param dt1  the first Date, may be null
     * @param dt2  the second Date, may be null
     * @return <code>true</code> if the Dates are equal or both 
<code>null</code>
     */
	  public static boolean equals(Date dt1, Date dt2) {
	      return (dt1 == null ? dt2 == null : dt1.equals(dt2));
	  }
