You can load it into a java.util.Date, extract the corresponding

This is part of the current problem - the date related classes seem
to be trying to deal with Daylight Savings Time or something and when
your dates cross the changeover point the results are inaccurate.
Besides - doesn't it strike you as thoroughly silly that one should
even have to contemplate "playing" with milliseconds to get a count
of a number of days! It is insane that such steps should be required
in a so-called "modern" language.
Buying a package to solve a basic language deficiency just sticks in
my craw I'm afraid.
