(a) Be specific. What are you trying to do to the date-time value?

(b) Check out Joda-Time or the new java.time package in Java 8.

You can add or subtract minutes, hours, days, and such.

You can set the time portion to the first moment of the day.

You can set a specific time.

You can adjust to any other time zone.

You can compare if one date-time is before or after another.
