Hi Firends
Could anyone show me an example to produce the out put like the following Oct 29, 2001 03:50:15 GMT?
Thanks a lot

String s = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM, Locale.US).format(datetime);
Should come close. You can experiment with the format (MEDIUM, SHORT or LONG). If none of the formats is quite the way you want it, instantiate a SimpleDateFormat directly and use a format string (see the javadoc) - you'll lose the easy i18n though.

Date d = new Date()
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss zzzz")
System.out.println(sdf.format(d))
You may need to modify it somewhat. Check the API for all the possible formats.
