Java’s Calendar and Date classes are long in the tooth. Many developers up till now have used 3rd party frameworks like JodaTime or built-in support in Groovy to manage any respectable date and time handling. JSR-310 is the new DateTime API that is based on JodaTime. It was lead by the same developer of JodaTime but is the opportunity to re-write and address some of the previous design to build a quality framework for Java 8.
