System. Page developers who are building 6.x proprietary, non-JSR168 portlets use this portlet to add the Date property editor to a page. The Date property editor renders a text input file with a calendar icon next to it. When an end user clicks either the input field or the icon, the Calendar Picker portlet displays a calendar popup window from which the end user can select a date. After selecting the date and closing the popup window, the portlet displays the selected date in the input field.
