Support for Joda-Time?

[twingly-mob]

Joda-Time seems to be much better than the built-in Java classes like Date. http://www.joda.org/joda-time/

Following SO thread is quite interesting: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/308683/how-can-i-get-the-current-date-and-time-in-utc-or-gmt-in-java

Joda-Time is really better than build-in Java date API, so it's quite good improvement.
But the question will be: what exact Joda-Time version would you like to use ?
Cause I was already in situation, when project uses Joda-Time smth about v. 2.2 and new dependency uses 2.7 and they were not fully-compatible

We haven't really thought much about versions, what caught our attention was how badly designed the Date class is and that we get deprecation warnings when building.

What I do like about the Date class is that it's simple, no timezone weirdness and so on.
