I know this is usually a faq, and a lot of people have put a lot of efforts making it better. But I just find that the learning curve is a bit too steep for new comers. And it hasn't been improve in j2sdk-1.5 either, at least from the interface point of view. For example, a developer still has to go through the whole Calendar and DateFormat process to get a Date from a String.... I feel like complaining today:). -yan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
