  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getValue

          public java.util.Date getValue()

      Description copied from class: `Variable`
      Gets underlying value of this variable, or default value for templates. The specific type of value depends on the type of variable.
      Specified by:
        `getValue` in class `Variable.VariableWithValue<java.util.Date>`
      Returns:
        the underlying value of this variable, or default value for templates.

    - #### getEmptyValue

          public java.util.Date getEmptyValue()

      Description copied from class: `Variable`
      Returns empty value for the specific sub type. Empty value is used when replacing unset optional variables.
      Specified by:
        `getEmptyValue` in class `Variable`
      Returns:
        empty value for the specific sub type.

    - #### setValue

          public void setValue​(java.util.Date value)

      Specified by:
        `setValue` in class `Variable.VariableWithValue<java.util.Date>`

    - #### setUntypedValue

          public void setUntypedValue​(java.lang.Object newValue)
                               throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

      Description copied from class: `Variable`
      Sets the underlying value of this variable from given object. If a conversion happens to be needed and fails, then an `IllegalArgumentException` will be thrown.
      Specified by:
        `setUntypedValue` in class `Variable`
      Parameters:
        `newValue` - the value to set: either of the type needed by this variable type, or one of convertible types.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if conversion of the value fails.

    - #### isPassword

          public boolean isPassword()

      Specified by:
        `isPassword` in class `Variable`

    - #### getValueAsString

          public java.lang.String getValueAsString()

      Specified by:
        `getValueAsString` in class `Variable`

    - #### getEmptyValueAsString

          public java.lang.String getEmptyValueAsString()

      Specified by:
        `getEmptyValueAsString` in class `Variable`

    - #### isValueAssignableFrom

          public boolean isValueAssignableFrom​(java.lang.Object value)

      Specified by:
        `isValueAssignableFrom` in class `Variable`
