I'm not sure but I may have stumbled upon a bug. I found that my component was failing upon trying to execute this line: (in dom/html/form/input/clock.php)

$date = new JDate($this->dataValue);
$this->dataValue = $date->toFormat($this->timeFormat);

Elsewhere I saw where there are comments that JDate::toFormat is deprecated.

I copied the clock.php to the fork directory and changed it to:

$this->dataValue = $date->format($this->timeFormat);

and now it seems to work.

Yes absolutly.
I will fix it.
