Problem showing months in Spanish

[Ivan San José García]

Hi, I use since() JavaExtension, and in English, all months begin with
first letter in uppercase. But, in spanish the first letter is in
lowercase. Why?

After see JavaExtensions.java source code, I think is a issue of
java.text.SimpleDateFormat. Anyone knows how to solve it?

That's odd. If I put ${new Date().format('MMMM', 'es')} in my
template, it outputs 'agosto' in lower-case.

Please could you post the code you're using.

Yes, this is the problem, the first letter of months should be in uppercase.

I am not a Spanish speaker, so sorry if this is a stupid question, but
are you absolutely certain that official, correct Spanish requires
upper case month names? French doesn't, but English does - could it be
that "agosto" is correct? The following real Java code:

final Locale spain = new Locale("es", "ES");
final Locale france = new Locale("fr", "FR");
final Locale uk = new Locale("en", "GB");
final DateFormat spainDateInstance =
SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG, spain);
final DateFormat franceDateInstance =
SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG, france);
final DateFormat ukDateInstance =
SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG, uk);
System.out.println(spainDateInstance.format(new Date()));
System.out.println(franceDateInstance.format(new Date()));
System.out.println(ukDateInstance.format(new Date()));

produces:
17 de agosto de 2010
17 août 2010
17 August 2010

Incredible, I'm spanish, and I was looking for any rule that confirm
this. In this webpage (in spanish):
http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/SrvltConsulta?lema=may%C3%BAsculas , in
point 6.1 confirm that the first letter of months should be in
lowercase, unless required due to punctuation signs.

All my life I wrote months and days always with first letter in
uppercase. I feel really stupid :)

Sorry for this thread. All is ok.
