Method Detail

makeADate

public static java.util.Date makeADate(java.lang.String date_str)

formatDate

public static java.lang.String formatDate(java.util.Date date)

The opposite of makeADate: converts a Date object to a String in the current format. (This is needed in case the user wants to change the tiers and save as a tiers file.)

toGMT

public static java.lang.String toGMT(java.util.Date date)

Convert a Date to GMT. This is useful because otherwise we get local timezones that, in some cases, java.util.Date can write but can't parse (!).

dateNoTime

public static java.lang.String dateNoTime(java.util.Date date)

Return a date in the format 18-JAN-2004 (Used by GenbankReport)
