That is you can format either: * </p> * <ul> * <li>using a specified pattern</li> * <li>using the format for a specified <code>Locale</code></li> * <li>using the format for the <i>default</i> <code>Locale</code></li> * </ul> * * @version $Revision: 493905 $ $Date: 2007-01-08 02:11:38 +0000 (Seg, 08 Jan 2007) $ * @since Validator 1.3.0 */ public class TimeValidator extends AbstractCalendarValidator { private static final TimeValidator VALIDATOR = new TimeValidator();
