  - toInstant
```
public static Instant toInstant(java.util.Date utilDate)
```
    Converts a java.util.Date to an Instant.
    
    Parameters:
    
    utilDate - the util date, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the instant, not null
  - toDate
```
public static java.util.Date toDate(Instant instant)
```
    Converts an Instant to a java.util.Date.
    Fractions of the instant smaller than milliseconds will be dropped.
    
    Parameters:
    
    instant - the instant, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the util date, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the conversion fails
  - toInstant
```
public static Instant toInstant(java.util.Calendar calendar)
```
    Converts a Calendar to an Instant.
    
    Parameters:
    
    calendar - the calendar, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the instant, not null
  - toZonedDateTime
```
public static ZonedDateTime toZonedDateTime(java.util.Calendar calendar)
```
    Converts a Calendar to a ZonedDateTime.
    Note that GregorianCalendar supports a Julian-Gregorian cutover date and ZonedDateTime does not so some differences will occur.
    
    Parameters:
    
    calendar - the calendar, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the instant, not null
  - toGregorianCalendar
```
public static java.util.GregorianCalendar toGregorianCalendar(ZonedDateTime zdt)
```
    Converts a ZonedDateTime to a Calendar.
    The resulting GregorianCalendar is pure Gregorian and uses ISO week definitions, starting on Monday and with 4 days in a minimal week.
    Fractions of the instant smaller than milliseconds will be dropped.
    
    Parameters:
    
    zdt - the zoned date-time, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the calendar, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the conversion fails
  - toZoneId
```
public static ZoneId toZoneId(java.util.TimeZone timeZone)
```
    Converts a TimeZone to a ZoneId.
    
    Parameters:
    
    timeZone - the time-zone, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the zone, not null
  - toTimeZone
```
public static java.util.TimeZone toTimeZone(ZoneId zoneId)
```
    Converts a ZoneId to a TimeZone.
    
    Parameters:
    
    zoneId - the zone, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the time-zone, not null
  - toLocalDate
```
public static LocalDate toLocalDate(java.sql.Date sqlDate)
```
    Converts a java.sql.Date to a LocalDate.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sqlDate - the SQL date, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the local date, not null
  - toSqlDate
```
public static java.sql.Date toSqlDate(LocalDate date)
```
    Converts a LocalDate to a java.sql.Date.
    
    Parameters:
    
    date - the local date, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the SQL date, not null
  - toLocalTime
```
public static LocalTime toLocalTime(java.sql.Time sqlTime)
```
    Converts a java.sql.Time to a LocalTime.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sqlTime - the SQL time, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the local time, not null
  - toSqlTime
```
public static java.sql.Time toSqlTime(LocalTime time)
```
    Converts a LocalTime to a java.sql.Time.
    
    Parameters:
    
    time - the local time, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the SQL time, not null
  - toSqlTimestamp
```
public static java.sql.Timestamp toSqlTimestamp(LocalDateTime dateTime)
```
    Converts a LocalDateTime to a java.sql.Timestamp.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dateTime - the local date-time, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the SQL timestamp, not null
  - toLocalDateTime
```
public static LocalDateTime toLocalDateTime(java.sql.Timestamp sqlTimestamp)
```
    Converts a java.sql.Timestamp to a LocalDateTime.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sqlTimestamp - the SQL timestamp, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the local date-time, not null
  - toSqlTimestamp
```
public static java.sql.Timestamp toSqlTimestamp(Instant instant)
```
    Converts an Instant to a java.sql.Timestamp.
    
    Parameters:
    
    instant - the instant, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the SQL timestamp, not null
  - toInstant
```
public static Instant toInstant(java.sql.Timestamp sqlTimestamp)
```
    Converts a java.sql.Timestamp to an Instant.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sqlTimestamp - the SQL timestamp, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the instant, not null
