Here is some information from the Joda-TIme FAQ. SEE http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/faq.html#range
Precision is milliseconds represented in a Java Long Integer. Date Range is roughly +/- 292 million years. This helps resolve some of my issues. I'm not sure how leap-seconds are handled with Joda-Time. Leap-Second Recommendation The recommendation from the atomic time community is that computer systems implement a leap-second incrementally to accommodate a gradual change over a period of 100 seconds. This maintains consistency in applications that interface with timestamped databases without need to implement a discontinuity. Sincerely, Steven J.
