Hi, Your email was classified as spam by gmail.... Joda-Time simply uses the JDK definitions of date formats.
Locale sv = new Locale("sv"); Locale.setDefault(sv); DateTime time = new DateTime(); DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.longDate(); System.out.println(formatter.print(time)); Date a = time.toDate(); System.out.println(DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG).format(a)); Thus, both system outs prduce the same string. You can manually alter the JDK date format strings in JDK 6 and later if that is what you want. If you want to add CLDR parsing to Joda-Time, the repo is on GitHub ready to be forked...
