/**
 * DateFormat is an abstract class for date/time formatting subclasses which
 * formats and parses dates or time in a language-independent manner.
 * The date/time formatting subclass, such as SimpleDateFormat, allows for
 * formatting (i.e., date -> text), parsing (text -> date), and
 * normalization.  The date is represented as a <code>Date</code> object or
 * as the milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.
 *
 * <p>DateFormat provides many class methods for obtaining default date/time
 * formatters based on the default or a given loacle and a number of formatting
 * styles. The formatting styles include FULL, LONG, MEDIUM, and SHORT. More
 * detail and examples of using these styles are provided in the method
 * descriptions.
 *
 * <p>DateFormat helps you to format and parse dates for any locale.
 * Your code can be completely independent of the locale conventions for
 * months, days of the week, or even the calendar format: lunar vs. solar.
 *
 * <p>To format a date for the current Locale, use one of the
 * static factory methods:
 * <pre>
 *  myString = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(myDate);
 * </pre>
 * <p>If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is
 * more efficient to get the format and use it multiple times so that
 * the system doesn't have to fetch the information about the local
 * language and country conventions multiple times.
 * <pre>
 *  DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
 *  for (int i = 0; i < a.length; ++i) {
 *    output.println(df.format(myDate[i]) + "; ");
 *  }
 * </pre>
 * <p>To format a number for a different Locale, specify it in the
 * call to getDateInstance().
 * <pre>
 *  DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG, Locale.FRANCE);
 * </pre>
 * <p>You can use a DateFormat to parse also.
 * <pre>
 *  myDate = df.parse(myString);
 * </pre>
 * <p>Use getDateInstance to get the normal date format for that country.
 * There are other static factory methods available.
 * Use getTimeInstance to get the time format for that country.
 * Use getDateTimeInstance to get a date and time format. You can pass in 
 * different options to these factory methods to control the length of the
 * result; from SHORT to MEDIUM to LONG to FULL. The exact result depends
 * on the locale, but generally:
 * <ul><li>SHORT is completely numeric, such as 12.13.52 or 3:30pm
 * <li>MEDIUM is longer, such as Jan 12, 1952
 * <li>LONG is longer, such as January 12, 1952 or 3:30:32pm
 * <li>FULL is pretty completely specified, such as
 * Tuesday, April 12, 1952 AD or 3:30:42pm PST.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>You can also set the time zone on the format if you wish.
 * If you want even more control over the format or parsing,
 * (or want to give your users more control),
 * you can try casting the DateFormat you get from the factory methods
 * to a SimpleDateFormat. This will work for the majority
 * of countries; just remember to put it in a try block in case you
 * encounter an unusual one.
 *
 * <p>You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with
 * ParsePosition and FieldPosition to
 * allow you to
 * <ul><li>progressively parse through pieces of a string.
 * <li>align any particular field, or find out where it is for selection
 * on the screen.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h4>Synchronization</h4>
 *
 * Date formats are not synchronized. It is recommended to create separate 
 * format instances for each thread. If multiple threads access a format 
 * concurrently, it must be synchronized externally.
