Description Sam Davis CLA 2011-09-30 19:03:12 EDT 
In addition to opened and modified, it would be useful to see the last commented date at the top of the task editor, as this often says more about how stale a task is than the last modified date does.

I like that idea. I think some repositories such as JIRA have similar functionality showing something like "Last commented 42 days ago" in the web interface which provides a quick sense of how active the bug has been. I am moving this to the framework component since this is not repository specific.

Thanks very much for the contribution!
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2013-07-12 04:49:11 EDT 
Having an indication of when a task last commented on is helpful but I'm finding it a bit confusing to have 3 dates on top of the task editor. Have you considered using a relative date, e.g. "2 days ago"? DateUtil.getRelativeDate() proviesd a simple implementation of that.
Comment 5 Sam Davis CLA 2013-07-12 17:08:37 EDT 
That could be a good idea. I think we decided it was better to use a consistent date format but maybe it's actually better to make them easy to distinguish.
