formatRange

public java.lang.String formatRange(java.util.Date startDate,
                                    java.util.Date endDate,
                                    java.lang.String key,
                                    java.util.Locale locale,
                                    java.util.TimeZone tz)

The format method formats a date range based on a key.

The format method of a hypothetical subclass of DateFormatter might do the following with the start date December 25, 2008 and end date January 1, 2009:

key: "WEEK_RANGE", return: "12-25-2008 to 1-1-2009"
