Title Body

I am using Joda Time 2.1 library. I have written a method to compare if a given date is between a date range of not. I want it to be inclusive to the start date and end date.I have used LocalDate as I don't want to consider the time part only date part. Below is the code for it. isDateBetweenRange(LocalDate start,LocalDate end,LocalDate target){ System.out.println("Start Date : " +start.toDateTimeAtStartOfDay(DateTimeZone.forID("EST")); System.out.println("Target Date : " +targettoDateTimeAtStartOfDay(DateTimeZone.forID("EST")); System.out.println("End Date : " +end.toDateTimeAtStartOfDay(DateTimeZone.forID("EST")); System.out.println(target.isAfter(start)); System.out.println(target.isBefore(end)); } The output of above method is : Start Date: 2012-11-20T00:00:00.000-05:00 Target Date: 2012-11-20T00:00:00.000-05:00 End Date : 2012-11-21T00:00:00.000-05:00 target.isAfter(start) : false target.isBefore(end) : true My problem is target.isAfter(start) is false even if the target date and start are having the same values. I want that target >= start but here it considers only target > start . I want it inclusive. Does it mean that isAfter method finds a match exclusively ? I have gone through the javadoc for Joda Time, but didn't found anything about it.
