I think the confusion here is that when DateTools looks at a Date object
and a Resolution, it does it's calculations in GMT (so when you ask what
"day" it is at a particular moment, it tells you the current day in GMT,
when you ask which month, it tells you the month in GMT, etc...)
This may seem arbitrary, and it is, but it's fixed like that so that
no matter what Locale your jvm is configured with, you'll get the same
results from an index as everybody else.
If you print the Date object with a robust DateFormatter (instead of the
default toString()) you'll see what i mean.

: I have a question about DateTools conversions. I am having trouble with
: results of trying to store a date truncated to DAY resolution.

: Here is an example.

: OK:
:
: DateTools.stringToDate(DateTools.dateToString(new Date("01/12/2006"),
: DateTools.Resolution.SECOND))
: (java.util.Date) Thu Jan 12 00:00:00 CST 2006
:
: NOT OK:
:
: DateTools.stringToDate(DateTools.dateToString(new Date("01/12/2006"),
: DateTools.Resolution.DAY))
: (java.util.Date) Wed Jan 11 18:00:00 CST 2006
