GetTime doesn't correctly display zero's

I use TimeStamps in my system. Everything works correctly, however I find it annoying to have [12:2:2] as TimeStamp. Because you don't know if it's 20 or 2.

I am tired and sick, and starting to think it is the compiler. 

    java.util.Date date= new java.util.Date();
    Timestamp time = new Timestamp(date.getTime());
    super.print("[" + time.getHours() + ":" + time.getMinutes() + ":" + time.getSeconds() + "] ");re

How do you guys get correct TimeStamps with the zero's?

You can use the DateTimeFormatter like this:

DateTimeFormatter format = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("HH:mm:ss");
DateTime dateTime = format.parseDateTime(s);

where s is your datatime string.

Have a look at the DateFormat or SimpleDateFormat class.

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
df.format(new Date());

Use simple String.format with %2d flag, i.e. decimal number with at least 2 digits.

String.format("[%2d:%2d:%2d] ", time.getHours(), time.getMinutes(), time.getSeconds())
