[PROPOSAL] New JSP tag library datetime
I haven't noticed any tag libraries for doing DateTime formatting of
a long timestamp, creating a Date from form input, etc.
The proposal is to create a datetime JSP tag library that implements
date/time formatting, creation of Date from input, current time,
time comparisons, etc.
If this proposal is approved, suggestions for implementing the
tag set would be welcome.
Regards,
Glenn

It supports passing a Calendar, Date or String to format, and if it is not
passed, it uses the current time. (was in a com.lokitech.something package)

It seems to do what you are proposing except for time comparisons, although
I'm not quite sure how that would work. Thought it might give you something
to start with, although I'm guessing you would take a very different
approach.

I looked through the jakarta-taglibs and the only Date related
tag I found was to display the current date. I found this in
the utility tag library.
Is that what you are referring to?

Hi Mike.
By design, taglibs is a "collection" of tag libraries. That should make
it very easy (technically and socially) to bring up new tag libraries to
the project. The drawback of the organization is how to arrange for
synergy/integration/mergin among the different subprojects. I hope some
of that will happen within subprojects and that some more will happen as
functionality moves into the standard tag library (JSR052).
A more clear view of the different projects, as Justyna is doing, should
facilitate locating who is driving what subproject.

Guys,
I've already cleaned up Serge's date tag and made it part of the viewtags
library in version 1.5.
As we've (myself and Joseph Ottinger) said many times always now we're happy
to merge the libraries we have from the JspTags project at SourceForge into
the Jakarta project.
Download the viewtags library from http://sourceforge.net/projects/JSPTags
Do we all want to make a more active effort to merge the two projects?
Mike

I wrote a simple tag that does this... I believe I submitted it to this
project even, although I don't think there was much documentation. I think
there are some things you're suggesting that it doesn't handle as it was
primarily for nice formatting of dates, but perhaps it's something to build
on.
