Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-9983:
----------------------------------------
[~jsedding] As already commented on the PR, I don't mind changing it, but let's
do it in a separate step (this is not really related to this change IMHO).
Would you mind opening a separate JIRA ticket for that?
> Add support for predefined date format styles
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-9983
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-9983
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Scripting
> Affects Versions: Scripting HTL Engine 1.4.6-1.4.0
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Assignee: Radu Cotescu
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 1h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> SLING-6399 introduced possibilities to format dates as mandated by the spec:
> https://github.com/adobe/htl-spec/blob/1.3/SPECIFICATION.md#122-format.
> The problem is that date patterns patterns in general (even if a locale is
> passed) differ a lot between countries and languages. For that reason Java
> defines some [standard formats
> |https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/dateFormat.html] which
> work for all languages/countries. The special strings "DEFAULT", "SHORT",
> "MEDIUM", "LONG", and "FULL" should be accepted as values which should lead
> to using
> https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html#getDateInstance-int-java.util.Locale-
> as formatter. They are also defined by Unicode CLDR:
> http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/date-time-1/date-time-patterns#TOC-Basic-Date-Formats
