Hi! In my case the system-time updates come from the NTP-client of the system. So it has nothing to do with Joda (very off-topic here) but with the raised question.
The special situation is the first run of a server which gets installed somewhere and was delivered with a wrong time. If the java-app is already running and the NTP-client makes an update, all Thread.sleep() hang. Although it's a rare situation it lead me to use wait() instead. lukas Am Donnerstag, 15.
