There are some locales in which the abbreviation of months includes a dot, it is the case of Catalan language, for example, where  months abbreviations are: ["gen.", "feb.", "març", "abr.", "maig", "juny", "jul.", "ag.", "set.", "oct.", "nov.", "des."].

In those cases, the function DateFormat behaves unexpectacly, because split the date value by the '.' character; therefore the formated value is incorrect. I've solved this by customizing the function, avoiding to split by '.' if there's not any '.' character in the dateFormat Pattern.

I would know if anybody has noticed this issue before and how they have solved it; otherwise, if I'm using wrong month names (those names are returned by the function DateFormatSymbols.getShortMonths() in Java). Lastly, if there are correct, I would know if it could be a bug, or an unhandled case, of the plugin.

Thanks in advance
