```
    Parse a String into a Date instance using the given pattern. This convenience method acts as a wrapper for SimpleDateFormat.
    Note that a new SimpleDateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).
    
    Parameters:

    format - pattern used to parse the input string.
    input - String to be parsed to create the date instance

         String input,
         TimeZone zone)
                  throws ParseException
```
    Parse a String into a Date instance using the given pattern and TimeZone. This convenience method acts as a wrapper for SimpleDateFormat.
    Note that a new SimpleDateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).
    
    Parameters:
    self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods
    format - pattern used to parse the input string.
    input - String to be parsed to create the date instance
    zone - TimeZone to use when parsing
    
    Returns:
    a new Date instance representing the parsed input string

  - parseToStringDate
```
public static Date parseToStringDate(Date self,
                     String dateToString)

```
    Parse a String matching the pattern EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy containing US-locale-constants only (e.g. Sat for Saturdays). Such a string is generated by the toString method of Date
    Note that a new SimpleDateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).
    
    Parameters:
    self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods
    dateToString - String to be parsed to create the date instance. Must match the pattern EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy with US-locale symbols

    a new Date instance representing the parsed input string
    
    Throws:
    
    ParseException - if there is a parse error
  - getBundle
```
public static ResourceBundle getBundle(ResourceBundle self,
                       String bundleName)
```
    Works exactly like ResourceBundle.getBundle(String). This is needed because the java method depends on a particular stack configuration that is not guaranteed in Groovy when calling the Java method.
    
    Parameters:
    self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods
    bundleName - the name of the bundle.
    
    Returns:
    the resource bundle
    Since:
    
    1.6.0
    
    See Also:
    ResourceBundle.getBundle(java.lang.String)
  - getBundle
```
public static ResourceBundle getBundle(ResourceBundle self,
                       String bundleName,
                       Locale locale)
```
    Works exactly like ResourceBundle.getBundle(String, Locale). This is needed because the java method depends on a particular stack configuration that is not guaranteed in Groovy when calling the Java method.
    
    Parameters:
    self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods
    bundleName - the name of the bundle.
    locale - the specific locale
    
    Returns:
    the resource bundle

  - createTempDir
```
public static File createTempDir(File self)
                          throws IOException
```
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - createTempDir
```
public static File createTempDir(File self,
                 String prefix,
                 String suffix)
                          throws IOException
```
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - currentTimeSeconds
```
public static long currentTimeSeconds(System self)
```
    Get the current time in seconds
    
    Parameters:
    self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods
    
    Returns:
    the difference, measured in seconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC.
