Thomas, The TimeValue class handles precisely defined time periods (well, pretty much, anyway). In other words, 1s is one second. 1w is always 7d (leap seconds notwithstanding, but that doesn't really affect the precision).
But what is one year? 365 days? 365.25 days? 366 days in a leap year? What is one quarter? Exactly 91.25d (which is 365 / 4)? Or 3 months? But then, what is a month? 28 days? 31 days? Use 28d or 31d if that's what you mean; 1 month has no deterministic meaning all by itself. And 1 quarter is 3 months but without any deterministic way to convert to a precise number of milliseconds. The TimeValue class has no support for locale nor day of year nor leap year nor days in a month. It's best to use Joda time if you wish to perform proper year-oriented calculations. And it will return milliseconds precision if you wish, which will plug directly back into a TimeValue.
