Does anyone know if there’s a method in Joda Time or Java itself which takes either an int or a String as an argument, e.g. 4 or “4” and gives the name of the month back in short format, i.e. JAN for January?
I suppose long month names can be truncated and converted to upper case.
In response to Jon’s answer, you can further simplify that by using Joda’s direct access for datetime classes.
