I looked again at what is available natively under Java for locale-specific
date formatting. The only game in town seems to be DateFormat, which has
only 9 canned configurations for date/time formatting. The one that most
closely matches what we do now comes out like this for US:
' 11/30/18 10:14:53 AM'
This is not quite what you want since you don't get milliseconds and you
don't get a 4-character year either. But it's the best I can do with
off-the-shelf stuff, other than to make the format be configurable in
properties.xml, which I'm not thrilled with.
