A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In class DateFormat in java.text, the documentation for

public abstract StringBuffer format(Date date,
                                    StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                                    FieldPosition fieldPosition)
and

public final StringBuffer format(Object obj,
                                 StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                                 FieldPosition fieldPosition)

says:

...
Returns:
the formatted time string.
...

This is wrong. Like in Format, this should read:

...
Returns:
the string buffer passed in as toAppendTo, with formatted text appended
...
