Check out the Calendar class.  If I remember right, despite its name,
this relates to Date/Times.  There are after/before methods that will
tell you if the Date (Calendar object) whose method you call is
after/before the Date (Calendar object) you pass to it.

Example.

c1 and c2 are Calendar objects

c1.after(c2) will return true if c1 is after c2
c1.before(c2) will return true if c1 is before c2

yada yada yada.

There should be methods to set the objects either via String or a Date
object (I think this was deprecated somewhere along the way to make it
internationalized).
