1   - Century
00 - Year 2000

The example uses joda-time which can be downloaded from this link: http://www.joda.org/joda-time/


import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormat

String date = 1000131;

if(date.length() > 6)
{
 (DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyyMMdd").print(DateTimeFormat.forPattern("CyyMMdd").parseLocalDate(date)))
}
else
{
 (Date.parse( 'yyMMdd', date)).format( 'yyyyMMdd' )
}
