The jsf2-html5-portlet demo was developed in FACES-1786. It uses the new JSF 2.2 HTML5 Friendly Markup feature in order to render an HTML5 date picker:

<input type="date" jsf:value="#{applicantModelBean.dateOfBirth}" />

Unfortunately this component is not compatible with the way we test for date patterns like "MM/dd/yyyy" with the portlet preferences.

Here is a log of the test failures:
