What is not thread safe about SimpleDateFormatter? If this is true that
seems kind of serious! (I will take a look at the source tonight but it
might help if you gave me a hint)
Anyways, this thread safety business sounds like something that might be
useful to a lot of programmers out there. I will take a look at what
you've done in joda and see if I can't figure it out. Maybe we could
make a thread-safe version of SimpleDate Formatter be part of the
proposed TimeUtils/DateUtils/whatever in commons-lang?
Thoughts?
