Epocha

Description

This is a simple application built to satisfy a technical assessment to calculate two dates with its differences in a number of days.

The primary requirements for this application is to:

Read in two dates in the format of DD MM YYYY, DD MM YYYY where the first is the earlier date and the second is the earlier date
The dates can be supplied either from file input or System input - file input is chosen
The dates are to be validated
The year must not be earlier than 1900 and not later than 2010
The output will be in the form of "DD MM YYYY, DD MM YYYY, difference"
The above feature will be exposed as a REST API

Given the above high level descriptions, a few assumptions need to be made to limit the scope of this deliverable:

Java 7 and above
Gradle - optional as Gradle wrapper is already included
Access to Maven Central - to ensure you do not have proxy configured which may affect downloading dependencies
