/**
 * This class provides flexible generation of date format patterns, like
 * "yy-MM-dd". The user can build up the generator by adding successive
 * patterns. Once that is done, a query can be made using a "skeleton", which is
 * a pattern which just includes the desired fields and lengths. The generator
 * will return the "best fit" pattern corresponding to that skeleton.
 * <p>
 * The main method people will use is getBestPattern(String skeleton), since
 * normally this class is pre-built with data from a particular locale. However,
 * generators can be built directly from other data as well.
 * <pre>
 * // some simple use cases
 * Date sampleDate = new Date(99, 9, 13, 23, 58, 59);
 * ULocale locale = ULocale.GERMANY;
 * TimeZone zone = TimeZone.getTimeZone(&quot;Europe/Paris&quot;);
 * 
 * // make from locale
 * 
 * DateTimePatternGenerator gen = DateTimePatternGenerator.getInstance(locale);
 * SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat(gen.getBestPattern(&quot;MMMddHmm&quot;),
 *     locale);
 * format.setTimeZone(zone);
 * assertEquals(&quot;simple format: MMMddHmm&quot;, 
 *     &quot;8:58 14. Okt&quot;,
 *     format.format(sampleDate));
 * // (a generator can be built from scratch, but that is not a typical use case)
 * 
 * // modify the generator by adding patterns
 * DateTimePatternGenerator.PatternInfo returnInfo = new DateTimePatternGenerator.PatternInfo();
 * gen.add(&quot;d'. von' MMMM&quot;, true, returnInfo);
 * // the returnInfo is mostly useful for debugging problem cases
 * format.applyPattern(gen.getBestPattern(&quot;MMMMddHmm&quot;));
 * assertEquals(&quot;modified format: MMMddHmm&quot;,
 *     &quot;8:58 14. von Oktober&quot;,
 *     format.format(sampleDate));
 * 
 * // get a pattern and modify it
 * format = (SimpleDateFormat) DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL,
 *     DateFormat.FULL, locale);
 * format.setTimeZone(zone);
 * String pattern = format.toPattern();
 * assertEquals(&quot;full-date&quot;,
 *     &quot;Donnerstag, 14. Oktober 1999 8:58 Uhr GMT+02:00&quot;,
