Put a try/catch around the init method, and print the stack trace. by the
looks of it I'm guessing your date format is wrong. btw, if you want the
default date format use DateFormat.getDateInstance() or
DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance() for the locale's normal date and
date/time formats. THere's a host of other DateFormat.get... methods
which are also worth looking at.
