Hi folks!
We're searching for information on how to format instances of java.util.Calendar and more general information and coding hints regarding transition from using java.util.Date to java.util.Calendar.

A:
My hint would be not to use either Date or Calendar. Use Joda Time instead. It's much, much nicer than the built-in classes. JSR-310 will hopefully, eventually bring something Joda-like into the main library, but for the moment Joda is your best bet.
If you must stick to Date/Calendar, see java.text.DateFormat and java.text.SimpleDateFormat. Remember that they're not thread-safe though :(
