Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200807100006) Java: 1.6.0_10-rc; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b13 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1251; ru_RU (nb) for example date "11.00.2sdfdf" marked as valid IMO validator should check date field at least for letters, and also good to have validation for wrong dates like "35.15.2008"
date formatting Lenient is set to false. So dates like 35.15.2008 will not be parsed any more. Check for extra characters at the and of the string is added. "11.00.2sdfdf" should not be parsed too (By default only beginning of the string is parsed. And not necessary chars at the end are ignored).
http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/436a6a2cd0a2 fixed in main trunk
looks much better now but if you show error message like 'Date must be in following format: dd.MM.yyyy' may be you should decline any other versions if it possible. I can type this date and it accepted : '3.1.200112532'
