DateFormat.format produce OBNg4:48 16:48:44, which is not correct.


to reprocude, compile and run the attached program


Name: skT88420 Date: 09/13/99


DateFormat timeFormatter = DateFormat.getTimeInstance();
timeFormatter.format(ydate);

Produces erroneous result. The formatted time is duplicated in the result returned i.e. 12:00 AM 12:00:01 AM. The above lines of codes works well in JDK1.2.2 but is generating null pointer exception in JDK1.3ea.

The following small program:

import java.lang.*;

import java.util.*;

import java.text.*;



public class DateBug {



    public static void main(String[] args) {
DateFormat tf = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
System.out.println(tf.format(new Date()));

    }

}

Has an output on 1.3beta-0
2:30 PM 2:30 PM

Has an output on 1.2.2 or 1.1.7
2:30 PM

It seems to me that there is a little bug in the run time libs.
This bug is not affected by the JIT settings HotSpot, Classic,
and Interpreter show the same result
