The main problem is the usage of YUI 2.x for the impl. I've suggested to do something about it 2 years ago ( http://markmail.org/message/er3vpubkjjj7cw4b). No one needed/wanted to improve this module since then so I don't see anything better than move it out of Apache Wicket distro. I suggest to move it to WicketStuff so that it is still released for those who may still use it happily. > > Regards > Sven > > > > On 09.02.2015 14:55, Martin Grigorov wrote: > >> I'd suggest to move -datetime to WicketStuff and add a ticket to improve >> the DateConverter in -utils with timezone support for Wicket 8. >> Sooner 7.0.0 is released, sooner we can start working on Wicket 8 that >> will >> depend on JDK 8. >> WDYT ? >> >> Martin Grigorov >> Wicket Training and Consulting >> https://twitter.com/mtgrigorov >> >> On Mon, Feb 9, 2015 at 3:49 PM, Martijn Dashorst < >> [email protected] >> >>> wrote: >>> I'd rather upgrade to java 8 than depend on jodatime in core.
