> Background:
> The Bean Validation API specifies the annotations @Past and @Future, which are allowed at the JDK types Date and Calendar.
> Due to several issues and restrictions of these JDK types the open-source Joda Time API (http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/) which provides alternative date/time types became quite popular within the last years. 
> To do:
> * Hibernate Validator should add support for @Past/@Future for the Joda API date/times types by providing ConstraintValidator implementations for these types.
> * The Joda Time API should be added as optional dependency to HV. Upon runtime HV should check reflectively if Joda is on the class path. If that's the case, the Joda validators should be registered.
> * The HV reference guide should mention the additional types at which the @Past/@Future are supported.
