Hmm, that's weaker than I would have expected. If I'd like something a little better, is your recommendation then to add to DateUtils?
I guess it is time for a date type. I imagine taking java.util.Calendar as a param would be a nice way to map it (or Date, though that one's lack of timezones is an eternal source of trouble in the SOAP world)
SOAP and everywhere an application may span timezones.
Anyway, I'd suggest be very cautious about introducing general date processing in ant that would allow arbitrary date formats, as opposed to one or two formats per locale, or a single ISO style format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSS" (I think that one is legal, I don't have the spec in front of me).
I agree, with the caveat that the 'T' is so vague; there is nowhere in the ISO spec to say 'dont know the timezone', which is why I use time_t in GMT as the sole time specifier in my soap systems
