getting the current date in jelly

["Litton, Tom - CEPM" <To...@cepm-us.com>]

I've been searching for a way to set a variable to the current date in a jelly script.  Its got to be really simple, but apparently i'm the only one in the world that has to do it, because I can't find any examples anywhere. 
 
I'm need this for a maven script (not a jsp page).  
 
Thanks,
 
Tom

Hi
Would this do the trick?
    <j:new var="theDate" className="java.util.Date"/>

You need of course to define the 'j' namespace in the list of the 
maven's project element  (xmlns:j="jelly:core").

Hope it helps.
Eric.
