The SciJava Jython script language plugin [1] supports a special parameter
syntax, which lets you specify inputs of various types, including dates
(harvested under the hood using JDatePicker).

Here is a sample script:

  # @Date date
  print("You chose: " + str(date))

But that is not exactly vanilla Jython.

I looked at calling JDatePicker directly, but it is a little involved since
you have to set up your Swing components and such. Probably not the
friendliest intro to Jython for your friend. Does it have to be date
picking specifically?

Regards,
Curtis
