External question sites indicate that users have difficulty converting between java.util.Date and LocalDate, and also between Instant and LocalDate/LocalTime. This user difficulty can be resolved with some additional methods.
Currently, the following methods exist: ZonedDateTime.ofInstant(Instant, ZoneId); OffsetDateTime.ofInstant(Instant, ZoneId); LocalDateTime.ofInstant(Instant, ZoneId); OffsetTime.ofInstant(Instant, ZoneId); This enhancement proposes to add the same method to LocalDate and LocalTime. It can reasonably be argued this was a simple oversight in the original development. Diff attached to the JIRA: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8133079 Would also appreciate a reviewer to ensure that the code and tests pass OK (as opposed to my best efforts on a very dubious Windows/Eclipse/JDK8 setup) Stephen
