Stephen Colebourne, lead of the JSR 310 Date and Time API, has recently published an Early Draft Review of the proposed additions and changes to the Java language. InfoQ caught up with Stephen at QCon London to find out more about the project.
The existing Date and Calendar classes haven't really fit the bill for developers and have often been a painful area of the API to work with. JSR 310 aims to provide a complete, fully featured Date and Time API for the Java platform which might be available with Java 7.
Stephen Colebourne has announced JSR 310, a new Date and Time API, to be based on Joda-Time and hopefully shipping in Java 7. As the JSR reads, the goal is to provide a more advanced and comprehensive model for date and time than those found in the Date and Calendar APIs.
