Mmh, some thoughts:
First thought was: why you need that? Just do a
$ant -Dlogdate=20050511
and you´ll get it. But maybe there are more derived dates...
Then have a look at the format...
<format
property="" required
pattern="" required
timezone="" System default: TimeZone.getDefault()
offset="" default: 0 (BuildException by Ant, if not a number)
unit="" required if offset is used; BuildEx by EnumeratedAttribute
on invalid values
locale="" System default: Locale constructor; BuildExc if illegal
value
value="" default: current date; BuildEx if wrong pattern;
--> check and throw the BuildEx for your own
--> which pattern? should be the same as specified in
pattern-attribute
I havent need that, but that´s only me. It would not disturb (I hope) ...
But just collect some other opinion.
Ah yes - dont forget the unit tests ;-)
