You mean something like this?:
qx.Class.define("xxx", {
...
statics : {
myDateFormat : qx.locale.Date.getDateTimeFormat("yyyyMMMM", "MMMM
yyyy")
...
}
Yes, this is possible, and even used in the framework (see e.g.
qx.ui.form.DateField). *But*, there is a caveat here. The generator
recognizes the static initializer as a load-time prerequisite of the
current class, but does not (yet) follow the initializer's run-time
dependencies. So you might run into unresolved dependency issues during
run time of your app. If so, you have to work around those by hand (e.g.
adding #require() hints in your classes, or "require" keys in your
config). See also this bug for background
(http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1455).
