Description

Discussion at dev@: http://markmail.org/message/uqu6gfma6wihwcwt

The idea is to:

• preserve DateConverter classes in wicket-util (and use Java 8 java.time.** classes instead of Joda-Time).
• move DateLabel to wicket-extensions
• synch -datetime's DateTextField with -extensions' DateTextField
• move everything else in WicketStuff project so existing applications could easily migrate to Wicket 8

there are many topics to improve on:

• DateConverter should be name DateTimeConverter and convert to LocalDateTime
• DateField should work on a LocalDate (no longer extending DateTimeField)
• without the DatePicker we could merge DateField and DateTextField
• TimeField should work on a LocalTime (no longer extending DateTimeField)
• for DateTimeField we should consider whether it works on ZonedDateTime or LocalDateTime - AFAIK most people use the former
