final methods hindering extensibility

           Summary: final methods hindering extensibility
           Product: Taglibs
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: DateTime Taglib
        AssignedTo: taglibs-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: nikhilgupte@yahoo.com


I was browsing the file - 
$Header:
/home/cvspublic/jakarta-taglibs/datetime/src/org/apache/taglibs/datetime/FormatTag.java,v

and noticed that doStartTag() and doAfterBody() were final. I needed to
customize this class but couldn't cos those methods were declared as final. I
feel if this wern't the case, the lib would be more useful.
