Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
ALTERNATE_COOKIE_DATE_FORMAT	An alternate cookie date format also seen in documentations out there on the internet.
ALTERNATE_DATE_FORMAT	Similar date format as NORM_DATE_FORMAT though not avoiding the space between the date and the time portion of the date format.
DE_DATE_FORMAT	Date format as used in German speaking locations, first comes the day, last the year, all separated by a dot '.' character.
MAX_DATE_FORMAT	Maximum sortable (first comes the year, last the nanoseconds) date format, contains the date and the time till a granularity of milliseconds.The character 'T' separates the date portion from the time portion of the date format in order to unambiguously parse a such formatted date String.
MAX_FILENAME_DATE_FORMAT	Date format usable for (parts of) a filename, e.g. for rotating log files or the such with a granularity of nanoseconds.
MIN_DATE_FORMAT	Minimum sortable (first comes the year, last the day) date format, contains the date without the time.
MIN_FILENAME_DATE_FORMAT	Date format usable for (parts of) a filename, e.g. for rotating log files or the such with a granularity of days.
NETSCAPE_COOKIE_DATE_FORMAT	Date format as used for cookies as of the Netscape cookie specification.

Similar date format as NORM_DATE_FORMAT though not avoiding the space between the date and the time portion of the date format.

DE_DATE_FORMAT

public static final DateFormat DE_DATE_FORMAT

Date format as used in German speaking locations, first comes the day, last the year, all separated by a dot '.' character.

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name
