[Java] Class TimeCategory

    java.lang.Object
      groovy.time.TimeCategory

    public class TimeCategory
    extends Object

Apply a number of methods to allow convenient Date/Time manipulation,such as:

     use ( TimeCategory ) {
         // application on numbers:
         println 1.minute.from.now
         println 10.hours.ago

         // application on dates
         def someDate = new Date()
         println someDate - 3.months
     }

Method Detail

### getDay

    public static Duration getDay(Integer self)

### getDaylightSavingsOffset

  Get the DST offset (if any) for the default locale and the given date.
  Parameters:
    `self` - a Date
  Returns:
    the DST offset as a Duration.

### getDaylightSavingsOffset

    public static Duration getDaylightSavingsOffset(BaseDuration self)

### getDays

    public static Duration getDays(Integer self)

### getHour

    public static TimeDuration getHour(Integer self)

### getHours

    public static TimeDuration getHours(Integer self)

### getMillisecond

    public static TimeDuration getMillisecond(Integer self)

### getTimeZone

    public static TimeZone getTimeZone(Date self)

  Retrieves the default TimeZone for a date by using the default Locale settings.
  Parameters:
    `self` - a Date
  Returns:
    the TimeZone
