Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo commented on TAP5-2211:
-----------------------------------------------------
Hi, Lenny!
Tapestry-JQuery datafield is a good component, but that's very different from
saying that it is a good replacement for Tapestry's DateField because it would
break backward compatibility in the worst way possible: only in runtime.
TAP5-1845, TAP5-1998 and TAP5-2144 (which isn't actually related to DateField
JS, but server-side) look easy to fix. TAP5-2203 and TAP-2003 will need a
little more effort. TAP5-805 is probably fixed in 5.4 due to the way the
validation works now. TAP5-2173 is a duplicate of TAP5-1998. TAP5-1799 seems
already fixed in 5.4. The localization one described by Lenny in the comment
above doesn't look hard to fix at first.
I have no objections against having a JQueryDateField component in Tapestry
out-of-the-box. What I object would be it replacing the current DateField
component due to reasons I've already wrote here.

> Key: TAP5-2211
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2211
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 5.4
> Reporter: Lenny Primak
> Assignee: Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo
> Labels: datefield, datepicker
>
> The current 3rd party datepicker used by Tapestry is very old,
> and isn't very good. It's time to update it to one of
> the better currently-available datepickers.
> There are about 15 unresolved issues opened against Datepicker that can all
> be solved by just replacing it.
> I suggest JQueryUI datepicker (if JQuery is included as the default stack)
> The current datepicker can be left alone is prototype is chosen.
> By default, JQueryUI datepicker should be used with the button-to-activate
> option so that it looks similar to the current datepicker.
> It should also work properly in BeanEditor and friends and even look good
> with form-horizontal version of BeanEditor
