How to add a “custom” date field to a custom post type?

Hey guys, I’m building a portfolio (which is a custom post type) and I want to store the date of the projects. I can achieve it the “regular” way with a meta box but I would like a “datepicker” or something like it.

Any idea how?

You want the easy way? Install the More Fields plugin and create your custom field using that. One of the field types is a datepicker: select that when creating the custom field and you’ve got a datepicker.
