Java and dates ?

[Jean-Philippe Forti]

Could someone tell me why java convert the following date 30.06.2001
(MM.DD.YYYY) in 06.06.2003 ?

I use the followin code :

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParsePosition;

public class DateTest
{

public DateTest()
{
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
String sDate = "30.06.2001";
System.out.println( sDate);
SimpleDateFormat localFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM.dd.yyyy");
ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
Date myDate = localFormatter.parse(sDate, pos);
System.out.println( localFormatter.format(myDate) );
}
}

It produces the following outup :
30.06.2001
06.06.2003


Any explanation is welcomed.

The 6th day of the 30th month of 2001: that's two years later than the 6th
day of the 6th month of 2001.

Avoid what? The only other option you have is to make it throw an
exception. And you would do that by

localFormatter.setLenient(false);
