Yeah. I was hoping to have something I could use in RCP and RAP. In an RCP I can just use Nebula widgets. So my choices are dig in and help or deal with it.

Too be honest:

we think the DateTime-Widget is inappropriate for 'normal' user anyway (not a problem of RAP but of SWT in the first place).
Having to 'type-click-type-click-type' or ('type-movecursor-type-...') to insert a date is a usability nightmare ..


That's why we wrote our own widget, much like on the RAP-demo-workbench-website (with popup-calendar for instance, but still editable date).

For some Date-Fields we have the need to support null-Dates as well ... it's just common to leave a DateField empty, if the Date is unknown to the user for instance. Anyway - that's easy if you start to use your own widget :D ...
