30 * <p>Immutable representation of a time span as defined in
31 * the W3C XML Schema 1.0 specification.</p>
32 *
33 * <p>A Duration object represents a period of Gregorian time,
34 * which consists of six fields (years, months, days, hours,
35 * minutes, and seconds) plus a sign (+/-) field.</p>
36 *
37 * <p>The first five fields have non-negative (>=0) integers or null
38 * (which represents that the field is not set),
39 * and the seconds field has a non-negative decimal or null.
40 * A negative sign indicates a negative duration.</p>
41 *
42 * <p>This class provides a number of methods that make it easy
43 * to use for the duration datatype of XML Schema 1.0 with
44 * the errata.</p>
45 *
46 * <h2>Order relationship</h2>
47 * <p>Duration objects only have partial order, where two values A and B
48 * maybe either:</p>
49 * <ol>
50 *  <li>A&lt;B (A is shorter than B)
51 *  <li>A&gt;B (A is longer than B)
52 *  <li>A==B   (A and B are of the same duration)
53 *  <li>A&lt;>B (Comparison between A and B is indeterminate)
54 * </ol>
55 *
56 * <p>For example, 30 days cannot be meaningfully compared to one month.
57 * The {@link #compare(Duration duration)} method implements this
58 * relationship.</p>
59 *
60 * <p>See the {@link #isLongerThan(Duration)} method for details about
61 * the order relationship among <code>Duration</code> objects.</p>
62 *
63 * <h2>Operations over Duration</h2>
64 * <p>This class provides a set of basic arithmetic operations, such
65 * as addition, subtraction and multiplication.
66 * Because durations don't have total order, an operation could
67 * fail for some combinations of operations. For example, you cannot
68 * subtract 15 days from 1 month. See the javadoc of those methods
69 * for detailed conditions where this could happen.</p>
70 *
71 * <p>Also, division of a duration by a number is not provided because
72 * the <code>Duration</code> class can only deal with finite precision
73 * decimal numbers. For example, one cannot represent 1 sec divided by 3.</p>
74 *
75 * <p>However, you could substitute a division by 3 with multiplying
76 * by numbers such as 0.3 or 0.333.</p>
77 *
78 * <h2>Range of allowed values</h2>
79 * <p>
80 * Because some operations of <code>Duration</code> rely on {@link Calendar}
81 * even though {@link Duration} can hold very large or very small values,
82 * some of the methods may not work correctly on such <code>Duration</code>s.
83 * The impacted methods document their dependency on {@link Calendar}.
