Avoid using java.text.SimpleDateFormat #24

Closed nremond closed 7 years ago

nremond commented 7 years ago

It's preferable as the class is not thread-safe, cf: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html#synchronization.

Hello,

Thank you for your pull request. As we are using Java 8, we would prefer to use java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter over joda time.

That being said, OutputFilesPattern instances are never involved in multi-threaded contexts, so using SimpleDateFormat is not an immediate problem. It could arise if the class is badly used in future developments.

OK, I can migrate that code to Java 8

nremond commented 7 years ago

What do you think of that? I migrated the code to only use java.time package
