Duncan Jones commented on LANG-1065: ------------------------------------ bq. We have a pull request with tests. Evidently, that means someone else wants this functionality too. Perhaps the patch submitter desperately needs this functionality himself, but perhaps he just enjoys creating patches and contributing to the community. Either way, two users interested in a feature is not proof of a general need amongst the Lang user base. We have to go with our gut on this sort of decision. Mine still says this is too specific and Lang would not benefit from its inclusion. But please feel free to present further arguments explaining why this code would be useful to more users. I think a real-life use-case would help us understand why you would use it. > Merge date and time together > ---------------------------- > > Key: LANG-1065 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1065 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: lang.time.* > Reporter: Paul Benedict > Priority: Minor > Fix For: Review Patch > > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > I have 2 java.util.Date objects -- one with the correct date and one with the > correct time.
