Re: [Simple-support] Handling of ISO 8601 timestamps

Hi,

I think this is indexed on nabble.com. However, what you want is a Matcher implementation to return a Transform for java.util.Date.class. If you look in the test cases you will see many examples of the use of Matcher and Transform, just grab the code and use it (all in the .zip download).
