Joda-Time provides a Java library for date and time handling including the ISO8601 standard. It completely replaces the JDK Date and Calendar classes, while still providing good integration. It is open-source software under the ASF2 license.

Version 1.4 has just been released. This release fixes a couple of minor bugs in v1.3 but also adds some significant new features:

- Years/Months/Weeks/Days/Hours/Minutes/Seconds
New group of single field period classes
These allow applications to specify a specific field in method signatures and calculations
Methods are provided to convert between most of these based on standard length periods

- Period.ZERO
Add zero-length constant to Period

- PeriodFormatBuilder.append(PeriodPrinter,PeriodParser)
This method completes the API of PeriodFormatBuilder in the style of DateTimeFormatBuilder
