Customizing the date

Hi,

   I am trying to display the date on which a particular item is created.

The issue is with formatting.

For instance,

    - If the item is created a day ago then i need to display 1 day ago.

    - If the item is created a on the same day then display number of hours like 3 hours ago.

    - If the item is created over a week ago then display complete date time like October 24, 2014 at 08:54 PM

com.day.cq.commons.date.RelativeTimeFormat

It displays something like Jun 3(1 day ago), for first case and 02:45 PM(3 hours ago) in second case. 

Can someone suggest any ideas to overcome this?

Thanks!!

Refer [1] for the different letters you can use to get the respective format. I think you are using 'Y' now and hence your output is in the respective format.

ex: you should use 'ago' as the keyword for 1 day ago
