 *
 * Format Date object in different ways.
 * <p>
 * The date tag will allow you to format a Date in a quick and easy way.
 * You can specify a <b>custom format</b> (eg. "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm"), you can generate
 * <b>easy readable notations</b> (like "in 2 hours, 14 minutes"), or you can just fall back
 * on a <b>predefined format</b> with key 'struts.date.format' in your properties file.
 *
 * If that key is not defined, it will finally fall back to the default DateFormat.MEDIUM
 * formatting.
 *
 * <b>Note</b>: If the requested Date object isn't found on the stack, a blank will be returned.
 * </p>
 *
 * Configurable attributes are :-
 * <ul>
 *    <li>name</li>
 *    <li>nice</li>
 *    <li>format</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p/>
 *
 * Following how the date component will work, depending on the value of nice attribute
 * (which by default is false) and the format attribute.
 *
 * <p/>
 *
 * <b><u>Condition 1: With nice attribute as true</u></b>
 * <table border="1">
 *   <tr>
 *      <td>i18n key</td>
