Upgrade to joda-time 2.x

["Howard W. Smith, Jr." <sm...@gmail.com>]

Since Jose, requested an update in dependency, I would like to recommend
upgrading to joda-time 2.x as well, since tomee has had dependency of
joda-time 1.6.2 ever since I started using tomee (1.5.1-snapshot and later
releases/versions).

I have been using joda-time 2.0 for the last 1-2 year(s) with no issues,
but honestly, my app has no need for any/all timezones throughout the
world. Do you have test cases in place that test joda-time dependency
(any/all versions)?

Quote from http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/

Release 2.2<https://sourceforge.net/projects/joda-time/files/joda-time/2.2/> is
the current latest release. This release is an evolution of the 1.x
codebase, not a major rewrite. It is considered stable and worthy of the
2.x tag.

Version 2.2 is a bugfix release compatible with version 2.1. See the upgrade
notes <http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/upgradeto220.html> for full details.

Version 2.x is almost completely source and binary compatible with version
1.x. Key changes include the use of JDK 1.5 or later, generics, and the
removal of some (but not all) deprecated methods. See the upgrade
notes<http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/upgradeto200.html> for
full details including information on the corner cases that are not
compatible.

We will support the 2.x product line using standard Java mechanisms. The
main public API will remain backwards compatible for both source and binary
in the 2.x stream. The version number will change to 3.0 to indicate a
significant change in compatibility.

Release 1.6.2<https://sourceforge.net/projects/joda-time/files/joda-time/1.6.2/>
is
the last v1.x release. It is compatible with JDK 1.4. Given that v2.x is
essentially compatible with v1.6.2, there are no current plans for further
releases in the v1.x product line.

Hi, OpenJPA has a new release 2.2.2 could you update to this release in
1.6.0-SNAPSHOT?

Thanks

Forgot to mention, I always replace joda-time 1.6.2 JAR with joda-time 2.0
JAR in tomee/lib, whenever I update my 'tomee' with latest-n-greatest
version of tomee. :)
