Charles Honton commented on LANG-1327:
--------------------------------------
Empty format is legal, even if non-sensical. Since there are no format
specifiers, the output should be an empty string.
> org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DateFormatUtils.formatUTC (10L, "") throws
> java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException exception

> as in this code:
> java.lang.String var2 =
> org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DateFormatUtils.formatUTC (10L, "")
> In version 3.4, the call is throwing a
> java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException exception.
