public class Period
extends java.lang.Object
implements TimePeriod

A period defines a period of time between two dates Strictly speaking the Period only includes the end date so if periods form a sequence then the start of the following date will match the end of the previous date. This convention is chosen to because in accounting systems the end-date is often more canonical than the start date.
