Using dates in Java

I'm a newbie.

Is there a package or library out there which is useful in finding and
using dates. For example, I want to determine if a date is a business
day. I also need a holiday schedule so I can look ahead to plan/sort
application processing dates. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris

Sundar -- Very helpful, thanks. I found something on the net called jFin,
it seems to be very complete and well-written...this provides quite a few
wrappers and interfaces to simply financial date processing. I've had a
steep learning curve, though, figuring out how Java handles dates, so this
link is appreciated.
