Description

The current 3rd party datepicker used by Tapestry is very old,
and isn't very good. It's time to update it to one of
the better currently-available datepickers.
There are about 15 unresolved issues opened against Datepicker that can all be solved by just replacing it.

I suggest JQueryUI datepicker (if JQuery is included as the default stack)
The current datepicker can be left alone is prototype is chosen.

By default, JQueryUI datepicker should be used with the button-to-activate option so that it looks similar to the current datepicker.

It should also work properly in BeanEditor and friends and even look good with form-horizontal version of BeanEditor
