Class NanoTime

java.lang.Object

org.mitre.poorMan.javaTiming.NanoTime

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class NanoTime
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Provides a way to get and manipulate absolute time in nanoseconds. In order to have sufficient range time is relative to a base year. The base year is a static String and thus can be changed. The default base year is 2000.
