How to retrieve the date format for a locale?

I have been looking at this recently and haven't found an easy way to find this out using the standard library. I require this to localise the Wicket class org.apache.wicket.extensions.markup.html.form. DateTextField, which takes a SimpleDateFormat pattern rather than a DateFormat object.

Here is the code I finally decided to use, it doesn't rely on the implementation details of the JVM but has to parse the output of the DateFormat. Format for a particular date (11/22/3333 - in US format).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
