You can use a Tool to do the formatting of the dates. Look at Scarab for
examples. Format.java is the class you want to look at.

cool.

aw, no need to apologize.
I already have the code myself,
I just thought it might come in handy to someone else. :)
keep up the great work!

Actually I wrote a formatting tool which does dates amongst other things
(originally for WebMacro) way before Velocity existed. Bizarrely a
Velocity adaptation (VelocityFormatter) still lives somewhere in the
Velocity core, and probably should be moved out.
It also has some other useful stuff (well to me anyway). I've got my own
private copy of this going with some bugfixes etc (a lot of it was
removing weird stuff I did to get around WebMacro bugs - no need for
that with VTL!). I'm happy to share my improvements if there's a
sensible place to put it...

i submitted a context tool specifically for this purpose to Geir, but last i
checked he still hadn't thrown it into rupert
(http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons-sandbox/rupert/src/java/org/a
pache/commons/rupert/) yet. if you'd like, email me directly and i'll send
you a copy.
