I have created a new issue on Jira HV-1552<https://hibernate.
atlassian.net/browse/HV-1552>;, it is to add a new Constraint to check if
the number of years from a given date to today is igual or greater to a
specified value.
This validation can be very useful when someone who wants to access, sign
up, or buy something must be over than one established age.
What do you think?
Looks interesting. I think I would mimic what we do with Min/Max i.e. have
AgeMin/AgeMax and an inclusive option.
What I'm not sure about is if we should limit that to years. Or be more
flexible and also support months/days for instance. But I'm not sure it's
going to be easy (or useful?). Might be worth a try though.
I would recommend doing an experiment with one date type before writing all
the validators as it's going to be a bit tedious.
I suppose you have seen Marko's post about how to contribute a constraint:

Have a nice day.
