Problem statement :  It is has been observed or noticed

                       ....inspite of standard certifications like
                           Certified Java ...programmer,architect ...etc

                           ....the standard libraries shipped with java
                           ....lack a date and time manipulation libraries

                                ....in the toolkit of a java developer.

Opportunity:  Given that java can wrap c libraries or routines 
                 ....system specific ...architecture etc.

              ...given that most systems (unix) ...timestamp ...

              ....classes ...wrapping the same

              ....thus a library of routines for manipulating the date and timestamp
                  can be in-place ...for system architechtures supporting the same.

              ...for instance one may understand or refer to the graphical or
                 drawing tool kits or image manipulation tool kits as part of java
              ...and how they function.           
              

Note: The above problem statement having been encountered in various scenarios
      and detailed in various 'Proof of concepts' as mentioned in

        ....apply appropriate
      'use-case' modeling, rationalize and arrive at a workable and feasible 
       solution both commercially and techinically viable.
