1import org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.TimeCategory
2// the above will be deprecated and replaced by: groovy.time.TimeCategory
3/// @todo: consider moving this to org.gnumims.DateUtil
4/// pros: easy to use in domain classes.
5/// cons: have to import so pulls in all referenced imports? Injection probably does that anyway.
