    //create first Calendar object
    Calendar futureCal = Calendar.getInstance();

    //create second Calendar object
    Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
 
    /*
     * To compare two different Calendar objects, use
     * boolean after(Caledar anotherCal) method.
     * 
     * If the first Calendar object's date and time is after 
     * anotherCal's date and time, 
     * it returns true, false otherwise.

    System.out.println("Current date : " + (now.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1)

                        + "-"

     System.out.println("Is futureCal after now ? : " + futureCal.after(now));

/*
Typical output would be
Current date : 12-25-2007
Is futureCal after now ? : true
