Hi, I have to explain my real problem with DateFormat:
I need to represent a time span (the time elapsed during a chess move), not a real date, e. g.: 0000-01-02 03:04:05 means: 0 years, 1 month, 2 days, 3 hours, 4 minutes and 5 seconds. Such a span is computed by subtracting a date from another date and stored as a date: Date d1,d2; .. long t1 = d1.getTime (); long t2 = d2.getTime (); long t = t2 - t1; Date d = new Date (t); I cannot format d it with DateFormat, since it is interpreted as an offset to 1970. If I could supress this interpretation, I would be glad. As a workaround, I extracted the date elements as integers and tried to format them with String.format.
