How to format date in Scala Template

[Thomas Vervik]

I have a arrangment object with a date field, and wants to format the date something like this:

<div class="dateBox">
                <div class="day"> 24</div>
                <div class="month">April</div>
                <div class="year">2012</div>
            </div>

In freemarker for example you do like this:
@arrangement.date.format("dd.MM.yyyy"), how is this done in Play 2.0 Scala templates?

Play 1.x had JavaExtension where you could write your own extensions, but this isnt presents in Play 2.0 as far as I can see from the documention or by seaching the classes *JavaExtension" inside Idea

Accidentally (or not) date formatting is the same :), check the sample applications ie.: computer database, view list.scala.html -

@computer.introduced or @computer.discontinued

de facto you do not need extra method for formating the code:

<div class="dateBox">
    <div class="day">@arrangement.date.format("dd")</div>
    <div class="month">@arrangement.date.format("MMMM")</div>
    <div class="year">@arrangement.date.format("yyyy")</div>
</div>

In Play 2 you can also create tags and/or "JavaExtension"-like calls, as each template is just a Scala function, 
you can easily call your methods of your classes.
