title: f:convertDateTime support for Java8 LocalDate / LocalDateTime?
body: <p>The JSF Core Tag <a href="http://www.jsftoolbox.com/documentation/help/12-TagReference/core/f_convertDateTime.html" rel="noreferrer">f:convertDateTime</a> can format <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Date.html" rel="noreferrer">java.util.Date</a> objects. The Date class has many deprecated methods and with Java 8 come new classes to present local dates and times: <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/LocalDateTime.html" rel="noreferrer">LocalDateTime</a> and <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/LocalDate.html" rel="noreferrer">LocalDate</a>.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.jsftoolbox.com/documentation/help/12-TagReference/core/f_convertDateTime.html" rel="noreferrer">f:convertDateTime</a> can not format <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/LocalDateTime.html" rel="noreferrer">LocalDateTime</a> nor <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/LocalDate.html" rel="noreferrer">LocalDate</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know, if there is an equivalent to the JSF core tag convertDateTime that can deal with LocalDateTime objects? Is support planned for a future release, or are alternative tags available?</p>
