Local Date Combo

LocalDateCombo is a Swing date picker for selecting a java.time.LocalDate from a drop-down MonthView.  As with MonthView, the no-arg constructor creates a LocalDateCombo set to the current date, with no upper or lower limits.  Additionally, this uses a default format corresponding to java.time.format.FormatStyle.MEDIUM

Five more constructors allow you to set various combinations of initial / minimum (earliest) / maximum (latest) value, and the display format.  Here’s a LocalDateCombo with the MonthView dropped down:

This code created that LocalDateCombo, and the screenshot was captured on 4 April 2015.

new LocalDateCombo(LocalDate.now(),
      DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("E d MMM, uuuu"));


Please note that you will need JDK8 to compile and use this class.  You will also need MonthView and related classes, published earlier.
