You mean this 
https://github.com/jbossejb3/jboss-ejb3-timerservice/tree/master/ejb31-calendar-expr-parser 
?

That's reasonable. Although I was more thinking of common routines that 
do date math with Calendar. I mean the hairy part of this is caused by 
the fact that Calendar is a bad API and so difficult to use, and easy to 
screw up. Such a module would have potential reusability across other 
projects. Another possibility is exploring the idea of using JODA.
