Eelco Hillenius commented on WICKET-466:
----------------------------------------
I looks to me like this patch was in the right direction and supported working
with java.util.Date (though I just did a very shallow test). I just disagreed
with breaking the API without providing backwards compat and better
documentation on how to upgrade. And we should probably have some tests that
assure the code works for both Date and DateTime.
If you feel like hacking around, you can definitively take look at the patch
for inspiration :-)

> I beleive the Wicket-datetime package was designed to be used with joda-time
> DateTime objects. It was also desirable to apply the "better"
> parsing/toString features of DateTime to util.Date objects. To that end, the
> attached patch improves the focus of the Converter to be DateTime oriented,
> while still allowing the DateTextField to hold util.Dates in it's model.
> The main idea of this patch is to make this package work with DateTime
> objects with very little effort on the developer's part. If they want to
> take advantage of the improved parsing, etc then it should take minimal
> effort.

> history of this conversation.
