title: How can I customize Java Date Format
body: <p>From the java doc, the MEDIUM format is: 
  MEDIUM is longer, such as Jan 12, 1952</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html</a></p>
  
  <p>How can I customize it so that I does not display the year? And spell out "Jan" to January?</p>
  
  <p>Do I need to do that myself?
  * chop off the string after the ','
  * have a table which map the month short name (Jan) to its long name (January)?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
