<P>
DateTimeComparator provides comparators to compare one date with another.
 <p>
 Dates may be specified using any object recognised by the
 <A HREF="../../../org/joda/time/convert/ConverterManager.html" title="class in org.joda.time.convert"><CODE>ConverterManager</CODE></A> class.
 <p>
 The default objects recognised by the comparator are:
 <ul>
 <li>ReadableInstant
 <li>String
 <li>Calendar
 <li>Date
 <li>Long (milliseconds)
 <li>null (now)
 </ul>

 <p>
 DateTimeComparator is thread-safe and immutable.
