Date format

[Corneil du Plessis]

Our hudson installation displays the time in a quasi 12hour format instead of 24h format. 2007/08/23 06:41:58 when it should be 2007/08/23 18:41:58

 

How do I change the configuration of the date/time format?

Currently the formatting of the date is locale sensitive. So on my
deployment it renders:

   Aug 23, 2007 1:53:23 AM

More precisely it's using DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(MEDIUM,MEDIUM).
What is your default system locale?


I'm torn on this. I think people will find localized representations
easier to understand. But to fix issues like this, I'd have to make it
uniform.

Hello,

The "Changes" page, presents the most recent build at top which is fine but then it lists for each build the changes in reverse order (most recent change at bottom) which is counter intuitive to me.

I think it's especially true when thinking that most recent change may override previous changes.

Am I the only one to think this way?

Thanks,

Gael

We are running ubuntu 7.04 x86_64, Sun JDK 1.5.0_11-b03

I am not sure what the JVM will select, user.country=ZA in /systemInfo

Do you know of a way to influence the use of 24h over AM/PM by specifying
some system property to the JVM?

I believe "-Duser.language=en_US" would switch to the US locale. Might
be worth a try.

Which SCM has this problem? I'd like to fix it.

You can use simpledate format.

java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat(
                                                "dd/MM/yyyy");
                                condate = sdf.parse("00/00/0000");

This blog explains few examples for the same,
