### Question:
DateUtils { public static Date parseDate(String sDate, Locale locale) { try { DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, getSafeLocale(locale)); df.setLenient(true); return df.parse(sDate); } catch (ParseException e) { log.error("Invalid date value", e); return null; } } private  DateUtils(); static Date getDateNow(); static Date getTimeNow(); static Date addDate(Date date, int years, int months, int days); static Date setDate(Date date, int year, int month, int day); static Date getDate(int year, int month, int day); static Date setTime(Date date, int hours, int minutes, int seconds, int millis); static Date getDateOnly(Date date); static Date parseDate(String sDate, Locale locale); static String formatDate(Date d, Locale locale); static String formatTime(Date d, Locale locale, boolean withSeconds); static String formatDayOfWeek(Date d, Locale locale, boolean longFormat); static String formatMonth(Date d, Locale locale, boolean longFormat); static int getWeekOfYear(Date d, Locale locale); static String formatMonth(int month, Locale locale, boolean longFormat); static String formatYear(Date d, Locale locale);  }### Answer:
@Test public void testParseDate() { Date date = DateUtils.parseDate("2/10/2008", Locale.FRANCE); Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(date); assertEquals(2008, cal.get(Calendar.YEAR)); assertEquals(9, cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)); assertEquals(2, cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)); assertEquals(0, cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)); assertEquals(0, cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)); assertEquals(0, cal.get(Calendar.SECOND)); assertEquals(0, cal.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND)); }
