          public PackedDate(java.lang.String time)

    - #### PackedDate

          public PackedDate(java.util.Date time)

      Base constructor from a java.util.date object.
      Parameters:
        `time` - a date object representing the time of interest.

    - #### PackedDate

          public PackedDate(java.util.Date time,
                    java.util.Locale locale)

      Base constructor from a java.util.date object. You may need to use this constructor if the default locale doesn't use a Gregorian calender so that the PackedDate produced is compatible with other ASN.1 implementations.
      Parameters:
        `time` - a date object representing the time of interest.
        `locale` - an appropriate Locale for producing an ASN.1 GeneralizedTime value.
