Yes

As needed, sure. Our current app doesn’t really need a date picker,
though. I can imagine other apps that would.

1. A data model that supports choosing one date.
2. A highlighter that lets us decorate arbitrary dates.

1. Like ListSelectionModel: the ability to specify whether it is
single-selection, continuous selection (a date range), or multiple
selection intervals.
2. Maybe this is implied, but I would want a well-designed
BasicDatePicker class that we can customize as needed.

A date picker is the only thing that a stranger has asked me for (
https://github.com/mickleness/pumpernickel/issues/79 ), which may speak
to its popularity.
I would be curious if anyone’s familiar with existing open source
approaches (like https://github.com/JDatePicker/JDatePicker )? (How do
they measure up, what are their shortcomings, etc.) Is there anything an
official javax.swing.JDatePicker can bring to the table that open source
solutions can’t?

Subject Re: Seeking feedback on a possible JDatePicker Swing component
It would be helpful if replies were structured so as to answer the
questions we asked.
These are very much in priority order. Unless there's yes answers to
the 1st & 2nd question,
the feature set and comparisons really don't matter ..
