Dev - Including a new Apache 2.0 licensed library in OFBiz

[Vinay Agarwal]

Hello,

 

How difficult is it to include a new Apache 2.0 licensed library in OFBiz? I am constantly frustrated with Java’s date/time/timezone handling. Joda.org has an enhanced library under Apache 2.0 license. I have no personal knowledge of this library except that it looks reasonable from the description. Is it something worth considering?

 

Regards,

Vinay Agarwal

Hi Vinay,

if you mean license/legal issues, it's not a big deal.

I have been working with Java's Date/Calendar etc classes but they don't
have
1. Time-span equivalent: everything is converted into msec.
2. Timezone conversions are messy.
Joda seems to have a more complete implementations.
