Interface FormatPatternProvider

public interface FormatPatternProvider

This SPI-interface enables the access to localized gregorian date-, time- or interval patterns according to the CLDR-specifiation and is instantiated via a ServiceLoader-mechanism.

If there is no external FormatPatternProvider then Time4J will just delegate to the JDK.

Specification: Implementations must have a public no-arg constructor.
