Name: gm110360 Date: 01/27/2004


A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
The correct date format in Poland for the 24th of November 2003 is 24.11.03 not 03-11-24.

JUSTIFICATION :
Without this being corrected using the java.util.Locale class in Polish or in internationalized software (that might work in Poland) makes no sense.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
DateFormat stamp = (SimpleDateFormat)DateFormat.getDateInstance(
                     DateFormat.SHORT, new Locale("pl", "PL"));
System.out.println(stamp.format(new Date())); //"dd.MM.yy"

//Output
24.11.03
ACTUAL -
DateFormat stamp = (SimpleDateFormat)DateFormat.getDateInstance(
                     DateFormat.SHORT, new Locale("pl", "PL"));
System.out.println(stamp.format(new Date())); //"yy-MM-dd"

//Output
03-11-24
