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

[Emmanuel Bernard]

I like the idea.
Initially we've decided to not add them and were waiting for the JSR-310. do you know the status and expected release?

The main problem I see is that we would likely use the same annotations for both joda and the jsr-310. 
We could think of using @Constraint and use two validator implementations but unfortunately that would fail at runtime if we don't have Joda Time in the classpath.

Anyone has an idea to work around that?
