Dan Syrstad commented on WICKET-466:
------------------------------------

Joda date formats can break the generated JS because Joda allows single quotes 
in the string to escape text. For example, a Joda date format of "MM/dd/yyyy' 
'HH:mm:ss" causes the following JS to be generated in 1.3beta3

Wicket.DateTime.showCalendar(YAHOO.wicket.dateTextField9DpJs, 
YAHOO.util.Dom.get("dateTextField9").value, 'MM/dd/yyyy' 'HH:mm:ss');

This is a JS error because there are 2 strings erroneously generated: 
'MM/dd/yyyy' and 'HH:mm:ss'.

> 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.
> See http://www.nabble.com/-datetime--DateConverter-tf3233793.html for a brief 
> history of this conversation.
