True | Randolpho | null | In Java's defense (and I can't stand having to defend Java on this point) the Date object was created *long* before Java had the concept of an Enum.
Feel free to attack Java for not having an Enum until 2007. And for choosing to make Dates mutable. And for everything else, really.
