+/**
+ * <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> is a public class for encapsulating
+ * localizable date-time formatting data, such as the names of the
+ * months, the names of the days of the week, and the time zone data.
+ * <code>DateFormat</code> and <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> both use
+ * <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> to encapsulate this information.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Typically you shouldn't use <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> directly.
+ * Rather, you are encouraged to create a date-time formatter with the
+ * <code>DateFormat</code> class's factory methods: <code>getTimeInstance</code>,
+ * <code>getDateInstance</code>, or <code>getDateTimeInstance</code>.
+ * These methods automatically create a <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> for
+ * the formatter so that you don't have to. After the
+ * formatter is created, you may modify its format pattern using the
+ * <code>setPattern</code> method. For more information about
+ * creating formatters using <code>DateFormat</code>'s factory methods,
+ * see {@link DateFormat}.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * If you decide to create a date-time formatter with a specific
+ * format pattern for a specific locale, you can do so with:
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ * new SimpleDateFormat(aPattern, DateFormatSymbols.getInstance(aLocale)).
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> objects are cloneable. When you obtain
+ * a <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> object, feel free to modify the
+ * date-time formatting data. For instance, you can replace the localized
+ * date-time format pattern characters with the ones that you feel easy
+ * to remember. Or you can change the representative cities
+ * to your favorite ones.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * New <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> subclasses may be added to support
+ * <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> for date-time formatting for additional locales.
