as said on framework meeting:

plone.formwidget is a successor of collective.z3cform.datetimewidget, but in
plone.app.widgets we dropped the dependency on jquerytools (for the reason that
there was no active development for almost 2years) and used pickadate library
instead.

next task to make plone.app.event use plone.app.widgets for its widgets in
sprints to come. once we did that then i would say tis time to merge
plone.app.widgets/toolbar into coredev.
