/**
 * <p>
 * <b>Calendar Validation</b> and Conversion routines (<code>java.util.Calendar</code>).
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * This validator provides a number of methods for validating/converting a <code>String</code> date value to a
 * <code>java.util.Calendar</code> using <code>java.text.DateFormat</code> to parse either:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>using the default format for the default <code>Locale</code></li>
 * <li>using a specified pattern with the default <code>Locale</code></li>
 * <li>using the default format for a specified <code>Locale</code></li>
 * <li>using a specified pattern with a specified <code>Locale</code></li>
 * </ul>
 * 
 * <p>
 * For each of the above mechanisms, conversion method (i.e the <code>validate</code> methods) implementations are provided which
 * either use the default <code>TimeZone</code> or allow the <code>TimeZone</code> to be specified.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Use one of the <code>isValid()</code> methods to just validate or one of the <code>validate()</code> methods to validate and
 * receive a <i>converted</i> <code>Calendar</code> value.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Implementations of the <code>validate()</code> method are provided to create <code>Calendar</code> objects for different
 * <i>time zones</i> if the system default is not appropriate.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Alternatively the CalendarValidator's <code>adjustToTimeZone()</code> method can be used to adjust the <code>TimeZone</code> of
 * the <code>Calendar</code> object afterwards.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Once a value has been sucessfully converted the following methods can be used to perform various date comparison checks:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>compareDates()</code> compares the day, month and year of two calendars, returing 0, -1 or +1 indicating whether the
 * first date is equal, before or after the second.</li>
 * <li><code>compareWeeks()</code> compares the week and year of two calendars, returing 0, -1 or +1 indicating whether the first
 * week is equal, before or after the second.</li>
 * <li><code>compareMonths()</code> compares the month and year of two calendars, returing 0, -1 or +1 indicating whether the
 * first month is equal, before or after the second.</li>
 * <li><code>compareQuarters()</code> compares the quarter and year of two calendars, returing 0, -1 or +1 indicating whether the
 * first quarter is equal, before or after the second.</li>
 * <li><code>compareYears()</code> compares the year of two calendars, returing 0, -1 or +1 indicating whether the first year is
 * equal, before or after the second.</li>
 * </ul>
 * 
 * <p>
 * So that the same mechanism used for parsing an <i>input</i> value for validation can be used to format <i>output</i>,
 * corresponding <code>format()</code> methods are also provided. That is you can format either:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>using a specified pattern</li>
 * <li>using the format for a specified <code>Locale</code></li>
 * <li>using the format for the <i>default</i> <code>Locale</code></li>
 * </ul>
