24 hour clock? Is it possible?

[RsH]

So there are 4 options:

• choosing one date/time format for all languages (not nice)
  
• staying with the Locale specific date/time format (nice for most users)
  
• choosing a specific date/time format for English and a Locale specific for all other languages (don't know if this is what most users want)
  
• doing the date/time stuff on my own (too expensive)
  

So, I'm kind of stuck...

Will this work?

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {

Date date = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat simpDate;

simpDate = new SimpleDateFormat("kk:mm:ss");
System.out.println(simpDate.format(date));

}
}
