Compare Date objects with different levels of precision

Question

I have a JUnit test that fails because the milliseconds are different. In this case I don\'t care about the milliseconds. How can I change the precision of the assert to i

Answer 1

Use a DateFormat object with a format that shows only the parts you want to match and do an assertEquals() on the resulting Strings. You can also easily wrap that in your own assertDatesAlmostEqual() method.
