[opencms-dev] How to change the date format?

[Samir Djulancic]

Hey Jon,

it is so.. It's about the date format showed on the website (from news and events). When I need to write a bit of Java that's ok. But I thought of just changing the existing file where the date format is declared. Is this possible or is the format taken from a standard library and if I want some "special" I have to write something by myself? If so I'm wondering about the format now. It shows like: 01/25/07 and this is definitely no swedish format (that's were I'm writing from)..

Thanks a lot for your help

Samir
