Michael Osipov commented on LANG-1165:
--------------------------------------
Why use a delegate pattern if we could directly extend from {{DateFormat}}
(given that {{FastDateFormat}} obeys the contract)?
> FastDateFormat should extend DateFormat
> ---------------------------------------

> Key: LANG-1165
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1165
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.time.*
> Affects Versions: 3.4
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
>
> Current FDT extends {{Format}} only, thus making it impossible to replace SDF
> where {{DateFormat}} is accepted.
> I am using Jackson's {{ObjectMapper}} which has a {{#setDateFormat}} method.
> But -- it accepts {{DateFormat}}. Impossible to use FDT.
