title: Is it possible to create a DateFormatter which converts a two-digit year into a four-digit year?
body: <p>In my Java application I use a <code>DateFormat</code> instance to parse date inputs.</p>
  
  <pre><code>DateFormat fmt;
  fmt = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.DEFAULT)  // dd.MM.yyyy for de_DE
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that the user insists to enter dates in the form <code>31.12.11</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately this is parsed to <code>31.12.11</code>. (<code>0011-12-31</code> in ISO format) Instead I want the parsed date to become <code>31.12.2011</code> (<code>2011-12-31</code> in ISO format).</p>
  
  <p>Can I modify the date format to somehow parse inputs that way?</p>
