[lang] FastDateFormat Javadoc

Hello,

The FastDateFormat Javadoc states:

FastDateFormat is a fast and thread-safe version of {@link
java.text.SimpleDateFormat}.

Could the Javadoc state explicitly that java.text.SimpleDateFormat is /not/
thread safe (is it)? And if so, in which JRE versions?

I am just looking for a clearer description of /when/ and I would want to
use FastDateFormat.

Thanks,
Gary
