DateTool velocity month

It's a question very basic, I know, but I have a little difficulties with that :

I would like to display in velocity the date with the object DateTool but only the month and the year :

In this moment, I know :

Vos détails de rémunération pour le mois de $date.format($c.time)

displays the date entirely but I would like only the month and the year.

I am looking the API but I haven't found yet.

If you have a suggestion.

Ale.

Thanks so much, I resolve the trick ! My solution is :

<p class="noMarTop headSection"><span style="padding-top:10px;">Vos détails de rémunération pour le mois de $date.format(' MMMMM  yyyy',$c.time) </span></p>

to display the month and the year completely.

Vos détails de rémunération pour le mois de juillet 2009

Thanks for the links.

Ale.

Check the documentation of the DateTool class, you'll see several format methods. The most basic one takes only a date as a parameter, which will use the format configured globally for the date tool. The next one also takes a format string as a parameter, which can either be one of the known keywords, or a formatting string corresponding to the standard Java datetime formatting options (there's a more thorough description along with examples here). So you might want to use something like:

Vos détails de rémunération pour le mois de $date.format('MMMM yyyy', $c.time)

Make sure the system's locale is set to French as well, otherwise you'll have to place a $locale variable in the context with the Locale.FRENCH value and use the 3-params method to get the correct name of the month.

What about using a pattern such as:

$date.format('M',$myDate)
