OK, ignore my last message. But, it's not just less paranoid. It's more correct. If rfc1123Format were used elsewhere, the lock on Class.DateTool would not be sufficient.
Actually, refreshing my memory on this bug, synchronization is insufficient. http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4228335.html The upshot is that DateFormats need to be either thread local, or created new each time.
