AjxDateFormat

AjxDateFormat(pattern)

The AjxDateFormat class formats Date objects according to a specified pattern. The patterns are defined the same as the SimpleDateFormat class in the Java libraries. Note: Only the Gregorian Calendar is supported at this time. Supporting other calendars would require a lot more information downloaded to the client. Limiting dates to the Gregorian calendar is a trade-off.

Note: The date format differs from the Java patterns a few ways: the pattern "EEEEE" (5 'E's) denotes a short weekday and the pattern "MMMMM" (5 'M's) denotes a short month name. This matches the extended pattern found in the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) found at: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/.
