---------------------------------------
This is also a Java 8 feature update, related to PIVOT-999 which deals with
other aspects of Java 8 usage.
> Update CalendarDate and Time classes to interact with new java.time classes

> Key: PIVOT-1010
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-1010
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core-util
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
> Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: datetime
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> In Java 8 there are new classes in the "java.time" package that are much
> better and easier to use than some of the old date/time classes. Now, our
> CalendarDate and Time classes are reasonably good, and using
> GregorianCalendar is still robust, but it would make sense (at least) to be
> able to construct instances of our classes from LocalDate, LocalTime and
> LocalDateTime, and to construct instances of these new classes from our
> classes to facilitate interaction with new applications using these Java 8
> features.
