title: How to calculate "time ago" in Java?
body: <p>In Ruby on Rails, there is a feature that allows you to take any Date and print out how "long ago" it was.</p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>8 minutes ago
  8 hours ago
  8 days ago
  8 months ago
  8 years ago
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to do this in Java?</p>
