Known Indirect Subclasses

Class Overview

This factory is used to create DateTimeFormatter instances within JIRA. By default a formatter will be configured to use the JIRA default time zone, locale, and date style.

Summary

Public Methods
DateTimeFormatter formatter()
Creates a new DateTimeFormatter that uses the JIRA default time zone, locale, and relative date style.

Public Methods

public DateTimeFormatter formatter ()

Creates a new DateTimeFormatter that uses the JIRA default time zone, locale, and relative date style. To get a "smart" formatter that automatically uses the time zone and locale of the currently logged in user, create a new formatter by calling DateTimeFormatter.forLoggedInUser() on the formatter returned by this method, e.g.: 

     DateTimeFormatter userFormatter = dateTimeFormatterFactory.formatter().forLoggedInUser();
Note that since JIRA 5.0 you can get a DateTimeFormatter injected directly into your class (in that case there is no need to use this factory class).

A formatter obtained in this fashion may be safely reused across requests.

Returns
  • a new DateTimeFormatter
