Using the Java API, how does one determine if a build is 'Overdue'?

I can get the start time of a build, then the current time, and calculate how long it's been running, but I'm hoping there's an easier, pre-canned solution.

Thanks in advance.

 I'm pretty sure the overdue flag is based on the idea that a build is overdue if it's past the average build time of that build. You can get the average build time using the below code (shamelessly stolen example code from: https://jazz.net/library/article/1229). 

IItemManager itemManager = repo.itemManager()
IBuildAverageDataHandle buildAverageData = definition.getBuildAverageData();
IBuildAverageData data = (IBuildAverageData)itemManager.fetchCompleteItem(buildAverageData, IItemManager.DEFAULT, myProgressMonitor);

/* The average build time is not available from the handle. It has to be fetched from the server. */
long averageBuildTime = data.getAverageBuildTimeTaken();
