[Building Sakai] Hijri Calender

[Matthew Jones]

There's well over 1000's of source files that import java.util.Date in the
code, so I don't think it would be a realistic project to convert the
backend over to a different date library that could parse a variety of
dates.

The only way I could see this happening is if the javascript date picker on
the client side was able to do all of the work and the end result was that
Gregorian dates were the only ones still being sent back (and retrieved
from) the server. It would have to have support to reformat the calendar
and determine what the new date is, and also a way to store the users
preferred date format. Since Sakai 10 & 11, since almost all tools are
using this new standard you'd also need to be working on the absolute
latest version.

I still think incorporating even that would be a pretty involved project.
