Scalendar v 1.0

Update

It is now hosted on both scalendar's github page, and on scala-tools. It was approved a couple of days ago, and hopefully, other people might find it useful.

As I worked on my wife's ipad app, I kept refining my Scala Calendar wrapper (which I coined Scalendar thanks to brad). It began to evolve into a really nice api, in which you work with immutable objects that wrap the Java Calendar api. While it completely interoperates with Java time, it works well enough as a stand-alone library.

The main functionality like date traversal and property getters haven't changed from the last post. If you're interested, read more about the changes after the jump.

Manipulating time

Handling time using the standard Java libraries can be a real pain. I am writing a webapp that uses pretty complicated date arithmetic, and while Java's Calendar object works, clients of the library are forced to work with a mutable object, thus being rather verbose to accomplish a simple task.
