Property buckminster.build.timestamp no longer ISO-8601? [message #540851]

Hi,

prior to r11456, the buckminster.build.timestamp was supposed to be in
ISO-8601 format (as documented). However, now the format needs to be one
of the common formats:

public static final String[] commonFormats = new String[] {
"yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss", "yyyyMMddHHmm", "yyyyMMdd-HHmm", "yyyyMMdd" };
//$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$ //$NON-NLS-3$ //$NON-NLS-4$

Is this intentional, or accidental and will it at some point be reverted
to ISO-8601 (or will ISO-8601 be added to those "common formats")? Note
the difference is in one line -- the new code calls timestamp =
DateAndTimeUtils.fromString((String) isoTS); while the old code called
timestamp = DateAndTimeUtils.fromISOFormat((String) isoTS);

Thanks.

--Peter

Hi Peter,

That's a regression. The ISO-8601 format should still be one of the supported formats. Can you please enter a bugzilla
for this?

Thanks,
