Comparisons of Dates and Calendars to second precision
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LANG-335
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-335
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 2.3
         Environment: Windows, JDK 1.6.0, Eclipse 3.2
            Reporter: Alex Marshall
            Priority: Trivial


The o.a.c.lang.time.DateUtils should have functions for comparing dates and 
Calendars to only second precision instead of millisecond.  The motivation for 
this is comparison of dates and Calendars in objects both before and after the 
objects have been committed to and retrieved from a database.  In theory the 
objects should be equal if 'equals' is run on them, but in practice they are 
not because the date fields do not have exactly the same millisecond values 
after they've been persisted to a database since times in many databases are 
only maintained to second-level precision (and without TimeZone information in 
many cases, to boot!)
