So I have a template which outputs a date just through something like [dateInHere/]

But I need a specific date format and I can't seem to find the Acceleo equivalent of a SimpleDateFormat to let me specify the output pattern.

Does Acceleo have a method for formatting the output of dates / a specific date? If not this must be a problem others have come across and there must be a fairly good solution?

Thanks!

Hi

Use the ability to "invoke(...)" external Java code.
