[threeten-dev] How to get pattern as a String from DateTimeFormatter

[Roger Riggs]

Hi,

Take a look at 
java.time.DateTimeFormatterBuilder.getLocalizedDateTimePattern.
It may provide the components you need.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatterBuilder.html#getLocalizedDateTimePattern-java.time.format.FormatStyle-java.time.format.FormatStyle-java.time.chrono.Chronology-java.util.Locale-
