I'm not sure if it's elegant, but you can do
add(new Label("someDate") {
@Override
public IConverter getConverter(Class type) {
return new FooDateConverter();
}
});
If these cases get repeated a lot, you can make named top-level
subclasses of Label for them. Or a generic custom component
with what you can do
add(new DateLabel("someDate").setDateConverter(new FooDateConverter()));
Best wishes,
