Stephen, in a prior email, you mentioned that fully closed intervals are not 
part of the next 1.x release (or perhaps any release).  Right now I can't 
suggest how to shoehorn them in, as I'm just starting to get familiar with the 
library.  In any event, I would like to propse them for version 2 (in which 
case, I'd like to dig into the code a bit more).  They would be quite useful 
for me.  My current need for a closed interval is to capture the life of a Plan 
business object.  There is a lot of logic regarding the begin and end dates of 
a Plan that an Interval would solve quite nicely.  From a business standpoint, 
however, the end date is inclusive (and stored in a database accordingly).  It 
would be nice if the interval end point were inclusive (hence, a 
ClosedInterval).

The Time and Money library (http://timeandmoney.domainlanguage.com/)  has a 
CalendarInterval, which I /believe/ is closed.  I'll check it out for ideas for 
a Joda CloseInterval.

Also, I created a PersistentInterval CompositeUserType that might be a good 
candidate for the Hibernate subproject.  How does one contribute to that 
project?

Subject: [Joda-interest] Joda-Time version 2 - Java SE 5+

Hi all,
I'd like to open the floor for general discussion as to what people 
would like to see in a 'version 2' of Joda-Time. This would be Java SE 5 
and above.

Please don't limit your thoughts to things that are backwards 
compatible. Focus on the use cases that you have needed, and were a 
little tricky with Joda-Time as-is.

(BTW. This Joda-Time 1.x isn't disappearing, or going end-of-life. I 
just want to gather the requirements as to what has worked and what 
hasn't, to help judge what could be changed if a 2.0 ever happens)

All ideas welcome!

Stephen
