Hello David,

                Thank you for the feedback. We currently have 3 options to select year (drop down is not an option though).

  1.  Set the year through TextField in JDatepicker for selection.
  2.  Select using navigation buttons next to Year Label which increment/decrement by 1 count.
  3.  Select using a separate Year panel which has a default Year scroll limit/range for easier navigation through mouse/key press. (The limit can be modified through api).

Regards,
Tejesh R

Looks great Tejesh R.

Only feedback is that, don't have a whole drop down for year. Since you are using LocalDate, then year could feasibly be 3000, and I don't think that having a scrollable list for that benefits anyone.

Just have the year selection be a text field, with some arrows for increment and decrement, and then maybe some keyboard controls for that same increment and decrement.

Hello Swing Community,

Thank you all for your valuable feedback on a possible JDatePicker Swing Component. [1]
The respondents all welcomed the proposal, so we plan to move forward with it.
We are digesting the details of the feedback and will draw upon it to create a draft JEP,
which we will publish as soon as it is ready.
