Custom date input format

We are using DateInputFormat to control data entry of dates. From you documentation:

 
 public interface DateInputFormat  3 character string containing the "M", "D" and "Y" characters to indicate the format of strings being parsed into Date instances via Date.parseInput().  As an example - an input format of "MDY" would parse "01/02/1999" to Jan 2nd 1999

Is there a way to control the separator (e.g., use "." instead of "/")?

Never mind, looks like the standard parsing accepts both automatically.
