Class DateConversionSupport [ source ]

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.core.internal.databinding.conversion.DateConversionSupport

Direct Known Subclasses:

DateToStringConverter, StringToDateConverter

public abstract class DateConversionSupport
extends Object

Base support for date/string conversion handling according to the default locale or in plain long milliseconds.

NOTE: parse(format(date)) will generally *not* be equal to date, since the string representation may not cover the sub-second range, time-only string representations will be counted from the beginning of the era, etc.
