Question

Using the Subclipse plugin (1.4.5) for Eclipse (3.4.1, OS X) adds some subversion metadata to the file navigator pane, including the modified date. Unfortunately this date is in m/d/y format, when I would prefer it to be in d/m/y.

Subclipse may be using Eclipse for the date formatting, but I don’t recall having seen any other instances of m/d/y (other date locations in Eclipse all seem to include the full month name). In any case I haven’t been able to find a way of setting the format in either Eclipse or Subclipse settings.

1. System Preferences > International > Language.
