This is a documentation issue and has no source/output.


Actually this is in the on-line documentation section for v1.2.2.

On the page documenting the API for the SimpleDateFormat class, I believe
there is a typo in one of the examples given. The URL is
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

The documentation states the following formats:

  h hour in am/pm (1~12) (Number) 12
  H hour in day (0~23) (Number) 0

The first example uses the "hh" format for the hour, yet shows the result as
"15" not "03".

 Format Pattern Result
 -------------- -------
 "yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' hh:mm:ss z" ->> 1996.07.10 AD at 15:08:56 PDT


Just thought that I would mention this as examples are a very important part
of understanding any technical documentation.
