[Ann] Java Date Picker v3.0 Released

June 21, 2004

Stand By Soft, Ltd. just released Java Date Picker 3.0, a suite of powerful date components for Swing. This is the first major version since initial release. It adds a new component, JDateField and defines the framework for future date components.

The dates available for selection can be restricted according to a specified pattern. Users can also do single or multiple date selection. So far, the available components are a one month calendar, a date field and an editable date picker.

The components can be internationalized, have support for mouse and keyboard and they can be used with any look and feel (Metal, Motif, Windows, Aqua and custom ones).

The highlights of this release are:

� New JDateField component.
� JDateField can use date parsers to convert shortcut strings like "today" into dates.
� JDateField includes properties like autoValidate, autoRestore, beepOnError and autoCentury.
� JDateField can set or get the value of a date field at any time.
� Rethought the Javadoc to be a self-contained document for the Java Date Picker API.
� Improved the tutorial to be a light introduction to the API.
