The getTimeInstance( ) method returns an instance of DateFormat that can format time
information. It is available in these versions:
static final DateFormat getTimeInstance( )
static final DateFormat getTimeInstance(int style)
static final DateFormat getTimeInstance(int style, Locale locale)
The argument style is one of the following values: DEFAULT, SHORT, MEDIUM, LONG,
or FULL. These are int constants defined by DateFormat. They cause different details about
the time to be presented. The argument locale is one of the static references defined by Locale.
If the style and/or locale is not specified, defaults are used.
The following listing illustrates how to format time information. It begins by creating a
Date object. This captures the current date and time information and then outputs the time
information by using different styles and locales.
