I think the property names should follow the convention used by the other property classes for now. The property classes can best be dealt with when (or if) Joda-Time goes Java 5 only. Then the property classes can be replaced with generic versions instead.

There are two items on my list for the Local* classes:

a) LocalDate/LocalTime cannot be constructed using a YearMonthDay/TimeOfDay in their constructor.

b) LocalDateTime does not have a two argument constructor to take in a LocalDate and LocalTime.

Coding these will be a balance between defining something specific to these classes, or using the more general ReadablePartial interface.


A secondary concern is the methods on Local*.Property. Currently, these all use the withXxx() style naming, which differs from the rest of Joda-Time. I want to consider whether they should use the same naming as the rest of Joda-Time, or whether everything else should be migrating towards the withXxx() naming (eg. DateTime.Property.set() deprecated to DateTime.Property.withValue())

In reality, the reason for the delay with the Local* classes is that they have emphasised some of the weaker design choices made up until now. This leads on to bigger questions of how to address the weaknesses.

Nevertheless, I would agree that a JT1.3 release is certainly due.
