Description pzgyuanf 2007-03-14 15:13:13 UTC 
The default Template of below file header always generate 
the data format according to the current Locale and no way supplied to change it.
(e.g. ISO format)

/*
 * __NAME__.java
 *
 * Created on __DATE__, __TIME__
 *
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Template Manager
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */

Please think about a team spanning east and west hemishere on the earth, then
you can image the encounter I currently placed in.

And I think NB team will jump at it as usually.

thanks.

We are going to migrate templates to the Freemarker template engine in nb 6.0.
This will permit you to customize date and time format on your own. See
http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/ref_directive_setting.html and
http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/ref_builtins_date.html#ref_builtin_string_for_date
