This is the most simple of applications and it was hacked together in 10 minutes. It is a utility that tries to use a given format to parse a given date using the JODA time libraries for Java.
I use this to test patterns used for the logstash date filter.
Remember to surround your format and timestamp in quotes otherwise things will get real wierd and we don't want that.
$ java -jar JodaTester.jar "yyyyMMdd" "20150412"
2015-04-12T00:00:00.000-04:00
$ java -jar JodaTester.jar "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSS" "2015-04-12 12:34:45.8484"
2015-04-12T12:34:45.848-04:00
$ java -jar JodaTester.jar "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSS" "2015-04-12 12:34:45"
Invalid format: "2015-04-12 12:34:45" is too short
pst you can add alias joda="java -jar /full/path/to/JodaTester.jar" to your .bash_profile to use this program like so: joda "yyyyMMdd" "20150412"
