[DataBinding] How to handle Date and Timestamp conversion? [message #319292]

Converting up from the Eclipse 3.2 databinding.

Looking through the new UpdateValueStrategy conversion routines, do not
see how to do/specify:

java.util.Date <--> String

and

java.sql.TimeStamp <--> String

Did I miss a built-in class or is there a custom converter snippet
somewhere that shows the preferred pattern?

Thanks,
Gerald

The default converters for this are DateToStringConverter and
StringToDateConverter, but these classes are not API (perhaps should be).
You will get them if you just ask for a default converter.

> java.sql.TimeStamp <--> String

We don't support this yet but would like to, see
