public final class AttributeDefinitionDate
extends AttributeDefinition<AttributeValueDate>

This class is the definition of a date attribute.

This class extends from the base class AttributeDefinition.

The specific form of an AttributeDefinitionDate in a ReqIF file is as follows:

<ATTRIBUTE-DEFINITION-DATE DESC="desc" IS-EDITABLE="isEditable" IDENTIFIER="identifier" LAST-CHANGE="lastChange" LONG-NAME="longName">

The following is the list of XML attributes:

• @DESC optional xsd:string description
• @IS-EDITABLE optional xsd:boolean, if not specified, false is assumed
• @IDENTIFIER required xsd:ID
• @LAST-CHANGE required xsd:dateTime
• @LONG-NAME required xsd:string (Note: currently the reqif.xsd does not enforce this)
