   This is great. How did you find it?

   God, I really can’t remember now. It was three years ago! Maybe off the web somewhere or perhaps trawling the standard documentation. I can’t believe I couldn’t find out how to do it for so long!

   Calendar and GregorianCalendar are so big and confusing I think I kept thinking it was in there somewhere. I really hate dates in java. Not that they are much fun in any language. But java is the worst.

   I’m not sure I think much of that code with hindsight. Perhaps something a bit more like:

   import java.text.DateFormatSymbols;
   public String getMonth(int month) {
       return new DateFormatSymbols().getMonths()[month];
   }

   My Code was wrote in spanish……returns month name in spanish if p_idioma = 0 or english if p_idioma = 1

       /**
        * Método que retorna el nombre del mes actual del sistema
        * @param p_idioma Entero que determina el idioma en que se retornara la respuesta (0 -> español, 1-> ingles)
        * @return Nombre del mes actual en el idioma determinado en el parametro
        */
       public static String getNombreMes(int p_idioma) throws Exception{
           String[][] mesNombre = {
                                   {”Enero”,”January”},{”Febrero”,”Febrary”},{”Marzo”,”March”},{”Abril”,”April”},
                                   {”Mayo”,”May”},{”Junio”,”June”},{”July”,”Julio”},{”Agosto”,”August”},
                                   {”Septiembre”,”September”},{”Octubre”,”October”},{”Noviembre”,”November”},{”Diciembre”,”December”},
                                   };
           /** se verifica que el parametro idioma sea valido **/
           if(p_idioma  1) throw new Exception(”Error al intentar obtener el nombre del mes con el código de idioma ” + p_idioma);
           /** se calcula el mes del sistema */
           Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
           /** se obtiene de la matris el nombre del mes **/
           String mes = mesNombre[cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)][p_idioma];
           /** se retorna el nombre del mes **/
           return mes;
       }
