It's gotta be nice listening to a bunch of people discussing your fate as if
you weren't even there, eh? Welcome, aboard aboard. java.text it is.

Yes, I took a glance through the CORBA stuff and it looks pretty scary.

Wow. That would be superb. I wish I coded that fast. Don't underestimate
the task, though. Merely getting locale specific date formats/parsing is
going to be painful. Though the only thing we really need to support for
right now is the US locale. I would look to leverage the code in glibc for
this, even if it means we have to make native calls instead of a pure Java
solution.
