public class DateTime
extends jxl.write.biff.DateRecord
implements WritableCell, DateCell

A Date which may be created on the fly by a user application and added to a spreadsheet NOTE: By default, all dates will have local timezone information added to their UTC value. If this is not desired (eg. if the date entered represents an interval eg. 9.83s for the 100m world record, then use the overloaded constructor which indicate that the date passed in was created under the GMT timezone. It is important that when the date was created, an instruction like Calendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT")) was made prior to that
