Hi, I have two questions about Sun's JDK 1.2.2 for Linux. 1. java.awt.TextArea does not wrap text. And it cannot show Japanese even if java.awt.List can. Why? 2. java.text.SimpleDateFormat is seemed odd. import java.text.*; import java.util.*; class test { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { String DATE_PATTERN = "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss zzz"; DateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_PATTERN); fmt.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT")); String str = fmt.format(new Date()); System.out.println(str); System.out.println(fmt.parse(str)); } } result: % export LANG=ja_JP.ujis % java test 2000/03/16 07:10:27 GMT+00:00 Thu Mar 16 16:10:27 JST 2000 % export LANG=C % java test 2000/03/16 07:11:46 GMT Thu Mar 16 16:11:46 JST 2000 "GMT+00:00" seems not match the pattern. Is it correct? Tomoyuki Kosimizu [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
