Package net.time4j

package net.time4j

The main package contains four basic types of ISO-8601, namely PlainDate, PlainTime, PlainTimestamp and Moment.

Time4J also uses some system properties for the purpose of internal start configuration:

  • net.time4j.format.iso.decimal.dot => controls formatting of decimal separator in ISO-8601-output (default is the comma)
  • net.time4j.sql.utc.conversion => SQL-Konversion in JDBCAdapter
  • net.time4j.systemclock.nanoTime => controls precision of SystemClock
  • net.time4j.allow.system.tz.override => controls permit for overriding standard timezone
  • net.time4j.scale.leapseconds.suppressed => see LeapSeconds.SUPPRESS_UTC_LEAPSECONDS
  • net.time4j.scale.leapseconds.final => see LeapSeconds.FINAL_UTC_LEAPSECONDS
  • net.time4j.scale.leapseconds.path => see LeapSeconds.PATH_TO_LEAPSECONDS
  • net.time4j.tz.repository.path => determines the path of the directory for the timezone data of Time4J, either absolute or relative to class path (default is the folder "tzrepo" in class path)
  • net.time4j.tz.repository.version => preferred version for the timezone data of Time4J (example: 2015a), if specified then Time4J will look for a file with name "tzdata{version}.repository" in given directory path otherwise the name will not contain the version
  • net.time4j.base.ResourceLoader => class name of external ResourceLoader-implementation

    Class
    Description
    AnnualDate
    Represents a combination of month and day-of-month as XML-pendant for xsd:gMonthDay.
    DayCycles
    Represents the rolling result of a plain time if a possible day overflow is to be taken into account.
    DayPeriod
    Represents a period or part of a day usually in minute precision as formattable extension to PlainTime.
    Duration<U extends IsoUnit>
    ISO-8601-compatible duration between two time points.
    Duration.Builder
    Builder class for constructing a duration conforming to ISO-8601 which consists of years, months, days and any wall time units.
    Duration.Formatter<U extends IsoUnit>
    Non-localized and user-defined format for durations based on a pattern containing some standard symbols and literals.
    ElementOperator<T>
    Defines any manipulation of date or wall time objects following the strategy design pattern.
    GeneralTimestamp<C>
    Represents a general timestamp consisting of a general date and a 24-hour-clock time.
    MachineTime<U>
    Represents a duration for machine times in decimal seconds with nanosecond precision.
    MachineTime.Formatter
    Non-localized and user-defined format for machine-time-durations based on a pattern containing some standard symbols and literals.
    Moment
    Represents an instant/moment on the universal timeline with reference to the timezone UTC (UTC+00:00 / Greenwich-meridian).
    PlainDate
    Represents a plain calendar date in conformance to ISO-8601-standard using the gregorian calendar rules for all times.
    PlainTime
    Represents a plain wall time without any timezone or date component as defined in ISO-8601 up to nanosecond precision.
    PlainTimestamp
    Represents a plain composition of calendar date and wall time as defined in ISO-8601, but without any timezone.
    PrettyTime
    Enables formatted output as usually used in social media in different languages.
    SystemClock
    Represents a clock which is based on the clock of the underlying operating system.
    TemporalType<S,​T>
    Serves as bridge to temporal types of JDK or other date and time libraries.
    Weekcycle
    Represents a special unit for week-based years which are described by ISO-8601 and follow the week cycle from Monday to Sunday.
    Weekmodel
    Defines rules for the localized handling of weekdays and calendar weeks on the base of a seven-day-week.
    ZonalClock
    Represents a clock which yields the current local time according to a timezone.
    ZonalDateTime
    Combination of UTC-moment and timezone.
