Paul,
This kind of request comes up with regularity, and I'm going the suggest
the same thing now that I have suggested before: Make the FreeMarker
date-time format configurable and supply a patch to Jira.
I believe it would be a simple matter of modifying FreeMarkerWorker.java
(line 93) to load the format from a properties file, or do nothing if
the property doesn't exist - which would cause FreeMarker to use the
user's locale for date-time formatting.
