Hi!
I am contirbuting on Ant for about half a year now, but I am new to
jakarta-taglibs, so HELLO taglib-dev :-)!
I have attached my first functional, own taglib! It is something between the
"datetime" and the "input" taglib. I did not really know where to put, and
so I initially created an own package "calendar".
To show what it is like, I have atached a little jpg. It frovides a little
button or link besides an input-field. If jou click the link a little frame
pops up displaying a calendar showing the month/year of the day entered in
the input-filed. Now you can select a new date by selecting month and year
and clicking on a day. The calendar is fully dynamic (javaScript :-(...).
This calendar provides some funktionallity now:
* Pick a date comfortable
* I18n support (some manual work is todo)
* dynamic javaScript
* "simple" JavaScript date-parser
* externalized Strings
* parsing can be done by "datetime"
Ok! I would be very happy if anyone can take a look at it (it is just a
pre-submit by now) and tell me what I have to do to get a "commit" on this
little taglib - at least if you want it to become part of "taglibs" :-?!
Some things I can do in the meantime:
* Html-Manual of the tags.
* Ant-Build XML
I have some problems to compile the taglibs-project using ant. Can you tell
me wich API jars in wich versions I should use!?! Aditionally I am interesed
which IDE's you are using. I am unsing IBM VAJava for fat-client apps and
for jakarta projects I am using netbeans.
Ok, finally I have to say that this was A LOT OF work! I hope you REALLY
like it ;-)
Greetings,
Chris
