How can I compare dates with velocity?
It seems like the ComparisonDateTool is not implemented in XWiki
http://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/ge…
Again, on
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Velocity+Module#HVeloc…
it states that $datetool is a reference to ComparisonDateTool.
What do you mean by "compare"? ComparisonDateTool only offers methods
for computing the difference between two dates, but just "is after" or
"is before" comparison is directly available in the Date class, so a simple:
$date1.after($date2)
should return true or false.
You can also compare the absolute time values using:
#if ($date1.getTime() >= $date2.getTime())
