Year: If the formatter's Calendar is the Gregorian calendar, the
following rules are applied.
For formatting, if the number of pattern
letters is 2, the year is truncated to 2 digits; otherwise it is
interpreted as a number.
For parsing, if the number of pattern letters
is more than 2, the year is interpreted literally, regardless of the
number of digits. So using the pattern "MM/dd/yyyy", "01/11/12" parses
to Jan 11, 12 A.D.
For parsing with the abbreviated year pattern ("y"
or "yy"),SimpleDateFormat must interpret the abbreviated year
relative to some century. It does this by adjusting dates to be within
80 years before and 20 years after the time the SimpleDateFormat
instance is created. For example, using a pattern of "MM/dd/yy" and a
SimpleDateFormat instance created on Jan 1, 1997, the string
"01/11/12" would be interpreted as Jan 11, 2012 while the string
"05/04/64" would be interpreted as May 4, 1964. During parsing, only
strings consisting of exactly two digits, as defined by
Character.isDigit(char), will be parsed into the default century. Any
other numeric string, such as a one digit string, a three or more
digit string, or a two digit string that isn't all digits (for
example, "-1"), is interpreted literally. So "01/02/3" or "01/02/003"
are parsed, using the same pattern, as Jan 2, 3 AD. Likewise, "01/02/-3" is parsed as Jan 2, 4 BC.
