How can I format day and month in the locale-correct order in Java?

Question

Is there a way to format a day and month (in compact form), but not year, in the locale-correct order in Java/Kotlin? So for English it should be \"Sep 20\" but for Swedish

Answer 1

You can do it in Java using LocalDate:

LocalDate dt = LocalDate.parse("2019-09-20"); 
System.out.println(dt);   
DateTimeFormatter ft = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MMM", new Locale("sv","SE")); 
System.out.println(ft.format(dt));
