Programming for beginners: Atom: Abdera: Date Constructs

Date construct is used to specify published and updated dates of a document. While representing date, an uppercase "T" character MUST be used to separate date and time, and an uppercase "Z" character MUST be present in the absence of a numeric time zone offset.

package abdera_tutorial.abdera_tutorial;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Date;

import org.apache.abdera.Abdera;
import org.apache.abdera.model.Content;
import org.apache.abdera.model.Entry;
import org.apache.abdera.model.Feed;
import org.apache.abdera.model.Text;
import org.apache.abdera.writer.Writer;

public class HelloWorld {

 private static void addMetaData(Feed feed) {
  feed.setId("tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062500619105519975");
  feed.setUpdated(new Date());
  feed.setTitle("java tutorial : Blog to learn java programming");
  feed.setSubtitle("Learners Blog");
 }

 private static void addLinksToFeed(Feed feed) {
  /* Adding Links */
  String rel = "http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed";
  String type = "application/atom+xml";
  String href = "https://self-learning-java-tutorial.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default";
  String title = "";
  String hreflang = "";
  long length = 0;

  feed.addLink(href, rel, type, title, hreflang, length);

  rel = "self";
  type = "application/atom+xml";
  href = "http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3062500619105519975/posts/default?alt=atom";

  feed.addLink(href, rel, type, title, hreflang, length);
 }

 private static void addAuthorToFeed(Feed feed) {
  String name = "hari krishna";
  String email = "noreply@blogger.com";
  String iri = "https://self-learning-java-tutorial.blogspot.com";

  feed.addAuthor(name, email, iri);
 }

 private static void addEntry(Feed feed) {

  Entry entry1 = feed.addEntry();
  entry1.setId("tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062500619105519975.post-918659526208416960");
  Date date = new Date();
  entry1.setPublished(date);
  entry1.setUpdated(date);
  entry1.setTitle("SWT: Slider Tutorial", Text.Type.TEXT);
  entry1.setContent("Slider class is used to define Slider widget", Content.Type.HTML);
  entry1.addAuthor("Rama Krishna Gurram", "noreply@blogger.com", "https://self-learning-java-tutorial.blogspot.com");
  
  Entry entry2 = feed.addEntry();
  entry2.setId("tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062500619105519975.post-918659526208416960");
  entry2.setPublished(date);
  entry2.setTitle("SWT: Slider Tutorial", Text.Type.HTML);
  entry2.setContent("Slider class is used to define Slider widget", Content.Type.HTML);

  Entry entry3 = feed.addEntry();
  entry3.setId("tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062500619105519975.post-918659526208416960");
  entry3.setPublished(new Date());
  entry3.setTitle("SWT: Slider Tutorial", Text.Type.XHTML);
  entry3.setContent("Slider class is used to define Slider widget", Content.Type.HTML);

  feed.addEntry(entry1);
  feed.addEntry(entry2);
  feed.addEntry(entry3);
 }

 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
  Abdera abdera = new Abdera();

  /* Create a new Feed instance. */
  Feed feed = abdera.newFeed();

  /* Populate feed */
  addMetaData(feed);
  addLinksToFeed(feed);
  addAuthorToFeed(feed);
  addEntry(feed);

  /* Print the feed to console */
  Writer writer = abdera.getWriterFactory().getWriter("prettyxml");
  feed.writeTo(writer, System.out);
 }
}

Output
