The IdP since V4 uses the standard Java classes introduced in, I want to say 8, for date/time handling.

The underlying attribute value type is java.time.Instant, per [1] (that's a 5.1 link, but the same class is in 4.x).

The relevant reference for the Formatting class in Java 11 is [2].

In a nutshell, you build the Formatter you want, and pass the getValue() result into it to get a string out.
