Yes it's an alternative, but at the cost of additional lines to create a collection.
Date date = ComparableUtils.min(date1, date2)
vs
Collection dates = new ArrayList(); dates.add(date1); dates.add(date2); Date date = (Date)Collections.min(dates);
I see your point now. But, in the meanwhile, you could always do it this way:
Date date = Collections.min(Arrays.asList(new Date[] {date1, date2}))I'd imagine that this may be a bit wasteful (object-creation wise), but it's a one liner nonetheless.
