Good reply Casper :) Getting 3rd party datepickers to look "right" on the different Lafs is next to impossible. The SwingX one particulary. JSR-296 was (according to Alexander Potochkin<http://weblogs.java.net/blog/alexfromsun>) reawakened, but it died soon after. There is next to none information leaking out on the users and or issues list.
Seems like we need to fork the entire thing and fix it ourselves, unless of course some of the expert group is sitting around somewhere :P - Erlend frustrated.
