Description Ryan Lauck 2010-03-16 22:05:48 UTC 
Currently there is no easy way to get any useful information out of org.apache.poi.hwpf.usermodel.DateAndTime, so I added a added a getDate() method that returns the date and time as a java.util.Calendar.  I am already using this in production code and thought it would be useful to others.

Note: it currently uses Calendar.getInstance() to get the default time-zone and localization - I don't know if the word binary format stores any localization data but if it does this code may need a further enhancement to initialize the Calendar with said data.

I've no idea either about timezones

The way to test would be to work with someone elsewhere in the world, and both of you create a simple file around the same moment. Compare those and see!
