I guess:
private static final SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("DD
HH:mm:ss SSSS'm's'");
is all on one line ?
Is this the SimpleDateFormat class for icu or java.text ?
It looks like this constructor can potentially throw an exception.
So the code should rather be:
private static final SimpleDateFormat formatter = newFormatter();
private static SimpleDateFormat newFormatter() {
SimpleDateFormat current = null;
try {
current = new SimpleDateFormat("DDHH:mm:ss SSSS'm's'");
} catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
// handle exception
}
return current;
}
It is not up to the compiler to check the validity of the pattern.
Closing as INVALID.
Yes one line, so the String is valid 'm's' ? This is an exception at runtime ? Verified to be invalid. |
in my class , if I have the following line private static final SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("DD HH:mm:ss SSSS'm's'"); I am getting a exception in initializer when running the main this line allows me to run my main private static final SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("DD HH:mm:ss SSSS"); I believe the compiler should give me an error about the 'm's' no ?
