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