title: Check if a list of dates contains a particular date
body: <p>I am looking for a better way checking if a <code>List</code> of <code>java.util.Date</code> objects (<code>ArrayList</code>, which is returned to me). The scenario is, I am returned a <code>List</code> of dates, and I would like to find out if a date I have on hand is within the <code>List</code> of dates I was returned.</p>
  
  <p>Currently what I am doing is looping the List and using JodaTime to compare the dates.</p>
  
  <p>Note: Only the date part should be considered while comparing the dates (not the time part).</p>
