[jira] Created: (VELTOOLS-135) Support Joda Time in $date tool

Support Joda Time in $date tool
-------------------------------

                 Key: VELTOOLS-135
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-135
             Project: Velocity Tools
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: GenericTools
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: David Parks
            Priority: Minor


The $date tool doesn't support Joda Time formats. This may be as simple as just updating the ConversionUtil class to convert Joda time objects to java.util.Date types.

If updating ConversionUtils it might also be nice to get that from a Factory class that can be configured so that users can easily extend ConversionUtils to support other formats such as this. As is it's not easy to extend ConversionUtils.

[jira] Closed: (VELTOOLS-135) Support Joda Time in $date tool

    Resolution: Won't Fix

The problem is that Joda Time would be another dependency in Velocity Generic Tools the way you proposed it.
However I think it could be a nice addition as a separate module.
But I don't think that any current Velocity developer has time to work on it. You can provide a patch or (probably better and easier) create an Apache Extras project:
