DatePicker does not allow for dates that were over eighty years ago

Hello,

The DatePicker does not allow for dates that were over eighty years ago . For example, when I try to select a date such as 1/1/1900 it becomes 1/1/2000. Do you know if there is a way around this?

Thanks,

Chris

You need to set the format to take a 4 digit year:

    final DateField date = new DateField();
    date.setFieldLabel("Birthday");
    date.getPropertyEditor().setFormat(DateTimeFormat.getFormat("M/d/y"));
