Taking this to dev. I am +1 on the Joda support inclusion in general. Coincidentally we talked with Savva yesterday about this in the context of another Jira. What we need to do here though is prevent making Joda a mandatory dependency of Cayenne, while making bootstrap easy.
Savva suggested making a separate Maven (and DI) module that is included in Cayenne explicitly on startup and that loads all the Joda types at once. I see the patch has 'registerWithRuntime' per type. A DI module is an improvement on that (and is similar to how other extensions work - crypto, osgi, etc.) Andrus > On Apr 30, 2015, at 12:50 AM, John Huss (JIRA) <[email protected]> wrote: > > > [ > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-1626?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14520340#comment-14520340 > ] > > John Huss commented on CAY-1626: > -------------------------------- > > This has been outstanding for a long time.
