41 /**
42  * DateFormatSymbols is a public class for encapsulating localizable date-time
43  * formatting data -- including timezone data. DateFormatSymbols is used by
44  * DateFormat and SimpleDateFormat.
45  * <P>
46  * Rather than first creating a DateFormatSymbols to get a date-time formatter
47  * by using a SimpleDateFormat constructor, clients are encouraged to create a
48  * date-time formatter using the getTimeInstance(), getDateInstance(), or
49  * getDateTimeInstance() method in DateFormat. Each of these methods can return a
50  * date/time formatter initialized with a default format pattern along with the
51  * date-time formatting data for a given or default locale. After a formatter is
52  * created, clients may modify the format pattern using the setPattern function
53  * as so desired. For more information on using these formatter factory
54  * functions, see DateFormat.
55  * <P>
56  * If clients decide to create a date-time formatter with a particular format
57  * pattern and locale, they can do so with new SimpleDateFormat(aPattern,
58  * new DateFormatSymbols(aLocale)).  This will load the appropriate date-time
59  * formatting data from the locale.
60  * <P>
61  * DateFormatSymbols objects are clonable. When clients obtain a
62  * DateFormatSymbols object, they can feel free to modify the date-time
63  * formatting data as necessary. For instance, clients can
64  * replace the localized date-time format pattern characters with the ones that
65  * they feel easy to remember. Or they can change the representative cities
66  * originally picked by default to using their favorite ones.
67  * <P>
68  * DateFormatSymbols are not expected to be subclassed. Data for a calendar is
69  * loaded out of resource bundles.  The 'type' parameter indicates the type of
70  * calendar, for example, "gregorian" or "japanese".  If the type is not gregorian
71  * (or NULL, or an empty string) then the type is appended to the resource name,
72  * for example,  'Eras_japanese' instead of 'Eras'.   If the resource 'Eras_japanese' did
73  * not exist (even in root), then this class will fall back to just 'Eras', that is,
74  * Gregorian data.  Therefore, the calendar implementor MUST ensure that the root
75  * locale at least contains any resources that are to be particularized for the
76  * calendar type.
