today.toLocaleString format doesn't match Locale setting

[Enigma-TS]

When I run the following code:
today = new Date( );
debugPrint(today.toLocaleString( ) + "\n");

I get the following output:
Saturday, September 05, 2009 02:28:46


However, in the Windows XP 'Regional and Language' Control panel:
- The 'Short Date' is set to - "dd/MMM/yyyy" (05/Sep/2009)
- The 'Long Date' is set to - "d MMMM yyyy" (5 September 2009)

The Core Java Reference v1.5 says the output SHOULD be controlled/determined by this Control Panel.


Can anyone tell me why the output is NEITHER of these formats, or what I need to do to GET the formats specified in the relevant Windows Control Panel???


Thanks in advance.
