Intelligent date / time parser for Java

Question

Is there some intelligent date / time parser library for Java? By intelligent I mean, that I don\'t need to specify the date / time format. The API should be similar to this

Answer 1

Curious that you want to call that intelligent, just consider these:

• Is your 1.2.2010 the same as mine?
• What happens if the code is run on different time zones with varying locales?
• Should it follow some well established standard or invent its own entirely?

The answer to your question is no.
