I have a fairly simple question about these 2 templating engines.
I’m trying to make a future/past date, a fixed time from now, e.g. 18 months ago, or tomorrow.

I know that it is possible to do this with a java date object inside a velocity/freemarker template (something like $date.add(2,-18)), but I would like to do this with DateTool or freemarker core.

This is something that I see as purely presentational (just think at the default dates you see in flight booking forms), so I can’t see any reason why a templating engine shouldn’t be able to do this.

Is it possible though? If so, how?

    In Velocity Tools there is no such method.
