Julian Date

[bunnyweb]

I have a web application written in Java and I need to be able to convert a standard date (dd/mm/yyyy) into Julian Date format. And then later in my application I will need to take a Julian Date and turn it back into a standard date. I am somewhat new to Java, so this is a very daunting task for me. I was hoping someone might have a class already written that I could use.

Thank you all in advance for the help!

Kindest Regards,
Rachel
