Re: Freemarker Date Format issue

There are a few mistakes in that pattern... should be:

   EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z

Also, because EEE is language dependent, be sure your locale setting
is English. If you aren't sure about that, better start the template
with something like:

   <#setting locale="en_US">

Last not least, if there's any remote chance, tell whoever generates
that XML to use ISO 8601, or better yet, xs:dateTime format (in which
case you will use ?datetime.iso or ?datetime.xs, respectively).
