All Implemented Interfaces:

TemporalExpression

public class ArbitraryDateRangeTE

extends java.lang.Object

implements TemporalExpression

Implements support for matching arbitrary dates using a DateRange supplied to the constructor. Obviously, this class is not useful in the context of recurring events, and, perhaps, it is introduction is the begining of a code smell. :-P

This class is inspired by patterns described in a paper by Martin Fowler which can be found here.
