Try the following....
<CODE>
if( logFile.exists() )
{
Date d = new Date( logFile.lastModified() );
DateFormat df = getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG);
logFileDate = df.format( d );
}
</CODE>
The only difference is that you must use DateFormat.LONG rather than
Locale.LONG.
If you need a format appropriate for different Locales, you can pass in the
locale
of interest by calling getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG, currentLocale).
