Method Detail

currentTimeMillis

public static long currentTimeMillis()

Gets the application time in milliseconds.

The result of this method is the same as the System.currentTimeMillis() method one.

Returns:

the application time in milliseconds

isInInitialization

public static boolean isInInitialization()

Indicates whether the current code is part of the initialization phase.

When Class.forName(String) triggers classes to be loaded at runtime dynamically, class initializations are done in a context where isInInitialization() is true and isInMission() is true.

Returns:

true if the initialization is ongoing

Immortals

isInMission

public static boolean isInMission()

Indicates whether the system has entered the mission phase, i.e. it is initialized.

Returns:

true if the initialization is done

newArray

public static <T> T[] newArray(Class<T[]> type,
                               int length)

Allocates a new array of object references from the given array type and length.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the array elements

Parameters:

type - the type of the array to allocate

length - the length of the array to allocate

Returns:

the new allocated array

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the type is null

OutOfMemoryError - if the array could not be allocated

platformTimeMillis

public static long platformTimeMillis()

Gets an arbitrary time in milliseconds.

Only elapsed time between two calls is meaningful.

Returns:

the platform time in milliseconds

platformTimeNanos

public static long platformTimeNanos()

Gets an arbitrary time in nanoseconds.

Only elapsed time between two calls is meaningful.

Returns:

the platform time in nanoseconds

setCurrentTimeMillis

public static void setCurrentTimeMillis(Date d)

Sets the application time.

This time does not change the platform time. The Util.setCurrentTimeMillis(d) method has the same effect as Util.setCurrentTimeMillis(d.getTime()).

Parameters:

d - the application time to set

setCurrentTimeMillis

public static void setCurrentTimeMillis(long t)

Sets the application time.

This time does not change the platform time.

Parameters:

t - the application time to set in milliseconds

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if t is negative
