------------------------------------------------------------

There is also a ThreeTen-BP closer to Java 8 functionality, so I would not bother with JodaTime;-) The Backport is not 1:1 compatible with Java 8, e.g. package is different, but seems easier to switch from Java 8 built-in types. 

Most custom property-providers exceed core (except maybe those very close to the JDK, so in theory a java.time one might apply) so if there's someone in the community who likes to do this later, why not, but I guess we have more important things on our plate for now. Unlike JSR 363 and "HOCON" or similar functionality date and time are only a small sub-set and Java 8 alone has 4 different, competing frameworks. Why waste our effort on something external with so many choices? ;-)
