>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Pattern Converters
>    Affects Versions: 2.6
>            Reporter: Remko Popma

> *Proposed changes:*
> * improve thread-safety of {{FixedDateFormat::updateMidnightMillis}}
> * expose {{FixedDateFormat::millisSinceMidnight}} as a public method
> In multi-threaded scenarios where time does not move forward monotonically, 
> the implementation of {{FixedDateFormat::updateMidnightMillis}} can result in 
> corrupted time stamps. In a project I am involved in we have a custom 
> PatternConverter that uses FixedDateFormat to format the "event time". In 
> these (artificial) tests, event time does not always move forward, so the 
> {{updateMidnightMillis}} is called concurrently with varying values. This is 
> not a production issue, but the implementation can be improved to be 
> thread-safe without impacting performance by using double-checked locking.
> Making {{FixedDateFormat::millisSinceMidnight}} public would provide a 
> performant and convenient way to strip off the date component. Useful for 
> systems that are on Java 7 or for systems on Java 8 that don't want to 
> construct a {{LocalTime}} object every time this value is required.
