[hibernate-dev] [HV] Supporting Joda Time API with @Past/@Future

Hi, for Hibernate Validator 4.1 we are planning to add some new constraints. In this context Hardy and I discussed whether it might be worth to add support for the date/time types from the Joda Time API ( http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/) for the @Past/@Future standard constraints. I think Joda is quite popular these days, and the upcoming JSR 310 is heavily influenced by Joda, too (the spec lead is also the lead of Joda). So this might add value for users, OTOH such support might be too specific. Are there any opinions on this? Thanks, Gunnar
