Well, tradition way is to chnage them into milliseconds, using getTime() method of Date class, then after you got the difference back, change it back to Date...
But there is another tool available out there which you don't need such thing to do... You might want to have a look at their site...
http://joda-time.sourceforge.net
Even though there is a need to compensate for the learning curve, you won't regreat using that... I always use that, whenever I have to deal with Date-related stuff in my work, since I know how to use them... I got to know about that here in the Ranch as well...

Change it back to date ? But why ? The difference should be in terms of x days and not date right?
For e.g. What is the duration between today and saturday ? It will be 2 days and some hours , right.
