Thread: What's wrong with my date getter?

I don't have the code with me right now, but I had it try to change the date into DayOfWeek Month DayOfMonth, Year

and put that on a JMenuBar as the text for a JMenu, but it's saying

Saturday March (I can't recall), 1

This was in that file that was giving me trouble. But I'm redoing it now in steps.

It always being Saturday mgiht be that I did make it on a Saturday and maybe it's never updated since that day. However, that was in November, not March. And why is it getting the year wrong?

Is it because I put it in a JMenu?

I did print it out. However, I only printed out the text I set it to.

Never tried to see if putting it in the JMenu was corrupting it.

However, what could be the problem?

Well, first thing is to find out where the problem occurs. Try to add a simple System.out.println(...) statement at different spots to do basic debugging.

You have to know that I am not very good at Java. I'm making some suggestions but at some point I won't be able to help any further.

I doubt it has anything to do with the JMenuBar. That should take standard text.
