Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-10152: ----------------------------------------- Thanks Pierre, Makes sense indeed. > Use properties for hard-coded date/time strings > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: OFBIZ-10152 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10152 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ALL COMPONENTS > Affects Versions: Trunk > Reporter: Jacques Le Roux > Assignee: Jacques Le Roux > Priority: Minor > > This refers to a suggestion from Adrian at > http://markmail.org/message/bldm5eajql4in3yg > {quote} > The current OFBiz framework supports a user-selected locale and time > zone. There are places in the UI where those settings are ignored and > date/time strings are hard-coded to the yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS format. > That was a design decision made by the developer community. > Most of the framework code uses a formatting string constant found in > UtilDateTime.java: > public static final String DATE_TIME_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS"; > If you want to change the date/time format, that would be place to do it. > It would be best to have those format strings loaded from a properties > file, so that users like yourself can change it easily - without having > to modify framework code. Anyone wanting to work on that improvement can > submit a patch to Jira and I would be happy to review and commit it. > -Adrian > {quote} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
