Due to GWT date manipulation issues it would be convenient to set String values instead of Date values in DateItem fields
DateItem item = new DateItem();
item.setStartDate("1900-01-01");
item.setEndDate("2020-01-01");
item.setStartYear("1900");
item.setEndYear("2020");
Reason is it is deprecated to manipulate dates in Java but not in GWT, and eventually it will cause issues....
I am currently using this which is a deprecated feature
private static final Date startDate = new Date( 1900 - 1900, 0,
1 );
DateItem item = new DateItem();
item.setStartDate("1900-01-01");
item.setEndDate("2020-01-01");
item.setStartYear("1900");
item.setEndYear("2020");
