Seeking feedback on a possible JDatePicker Swing component

Yes

As needed, sure. Our current app doesn’t really need a date picker, 
though. I can imagine other apps that would.

1. A data model that supports choosing one date.

2. A highlighter that lets us decorate arbitrary dates.

1. Like ListSelectionModel: the ability to specify whether it is 
single-selection, continuous selection (a date range), or multiple 
selection intervals.
2. Maybe this is implied, but I would want a well-designed 
BasicDatePicker class that we can customize as needed.

No.

A date picker is the only thing that a stranger has asked me for ( 
https://github.com/mickleness/pumpernickel/issues/79 ), which may speak 
to its popularity.

I would be curious if anyone’s familiar with existing open source 
approaches (like https://github.com/JDatePicker/JDatePicker )? (How do 
they measure up, what are their shortcomings, etc.) Is there anything an 
official javax.swing.JDatePicker can bring to the table that open source 
solutions can’t?
