How to format a duration in java? (e.g format H:MM:SS)

Question

I\'d like to format a duration in seconds using a pattern like H:MM:SS. The current utilities in java are designed to format a time but not a duration.

Answer 1

I use Apache common's DurationFormatUtils like so:

DurationFormatUtils.formatDuration(millis, "**H:mm:ss**", true);
