My first bug in commons-lang
Just added my first bug in commons-lang. Actually its more of an enhancement rather than a problem, but Bugzilla calls all of them bugs.
Its a smallish code snippet that would allow me to format one way and parse another. It gets rid of me writing the code:
Reducing it to

DateFormat parser = new SimpleDateFormat("...format A...");
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("...format B...");
Date foo = parser.parse(getFromWeb());
String bar = formatter.format(foo);

Date foo = doh.parse(getFromWeb());
String bar = doh.format(foo);
