Note: Make sure your repository specifies the same date format as the Output Example above. HCL Docs uses AtomDate to implement date format: 
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.abdera</groupId>
   <artifactId>abdera</artifactId>
   <version>0.4.0-incubating</version>
 </dependency>
Example code is like the following: 
String date = AtomDate.valueOf(Calendar.getInstance()).getValue()
