Hi Paul,
Have you tried Joda Time LocalDate [1]?
"LocalDate is an immutable datetime class representing a date without a time zone."
You could create a custom type to map the DATE external type to the LocalDate class, instead of using NSTimestamp or java.util.Date. It is similar to the Boolean solution.
[1]http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/apidocs/org/joda/time/LocalDate.html
Cheers,
Henrique

But fixing it is difficult since it could break everyone using it. Even so, it wouldn't be the first time such a thing was done, and I am a proponent of getting things right, as long as the community is sufficiently notified.
