Sun got it wrong the first time and again the second time. I haven't looked at the Java 7 api, but they'll probably get it wrong the third time.
OK, I took a quick look. It's better, but still not what I would consider an easily usable system. I will still have to write a parser that will take unconstrained user input. There are 8 or 10 formats that are unambiguous and easy to recognize. Do it. Joda-Time has too many classes. Will it work seamlessly with SQL Date?
