> Applying the attached patch shows the improvements to DateTools.java that I 
> think should be done. All logic that does anything at all is moved to 
> instance methods of the inner class Resolution. I argue this is more 
> object-oriented.
> 1. In cases where Resolution is an argument to the method, I can simply 
> invoke the appropriate call on the Resolution object. Formerly there was a 
> big branch if/else.
> 2. Instead of "synchronized" being used seemingly everywhere, synchronized is 
> used to sync on the object that is not threadsafe, be it a DateFormat or 
> Calendar instance.
> 3. Since different DateFormat and Calendar instances are created 
> per-Resolution, there is now less lock contention since threads using 
> different resolutions will not use the same locks.
> 4. The old implementation of timeToString rounded the time before formatting 
> it. That's unnecessary since the format only includes the resolution desired.
> 5. round() now uses a switch statement that benefits from fall-through (no 
> break).
> Another debatable improvement that could be made is putting the resolution 
> instances into an array indexed by format length. This would mean I could 
> remove the switch in lookupResolutionByLength() and avoid the length 
> constants there. Maybe that would be a bit too over-engineered when the 
> switch is fine.
