- * an {@Instant} for the GMT-timezone at {@link LocalTime.MIDNIGHT} and then
- * convering that {@link Instant} into a {@link Date} as suggested in the
- * official Java 8 Time tutorial.
- * <p>
- * The {@link Date} can then be persisted as
- * {@link java.persistene.TemporalType.DATE} with the help of the
- * {@link java.persist.Tmporal}-annotation.
