Description Eric Kolotyluk CLA 2006-08-10 11:14:50 EDT 
Currently the date format when subtituting the ${date} variable in code templates is like "Aug 10, 2006" - It would be nice if there were some way to control the format of the date, for example euopean style "2006.08.10" - Our code commenting conventions use the latter style, so we always have to convert after the template is expanded.

I'm for hardcoding ISO 8601: YYYY-MM-DD ;-)

An alternative could be that ${date} accepts an argument, e.g. ${d:date(format)}, where format is a pattern for SimpleDateFormat.
