DateSpan (SwingLabs JavaDoc)

java.lang.Object
- org.jdesktop.swingx.calendar.DateSpan

```
public class DateSpan
extends java.lang.Object
```
An immutable representation of a time range. The time range is internally represented as two longs. The methods that take and return Dates create the Dates as needed, so that if you modify returned Dates you will not effect the DateSpan. The end points are inclusive.
