Any developer who tried using dates in Java must have tried a couple times hanging himself with his mouse cable... until he found Joda-time. Implementing this correctly is much harder than it looks, but believe me: I have largely modified several common libraries, and Joda-time is one of the only ones I intensively use and in which I have changed close to nothing. It's one of best-written pieces of code out there. One thing though: a project not using this yet should probably directly try to use JSR-310, the new Date/Time API to be (I'll kill someone if it isn't) integrated in JDK8, mostly by the same author and largely inspired by Joda-time, but fixing some of its design issues which appeared with time.

Great, this is how Date and Calendar should have been implemented in the first place..

Joda-Time is THE mandatory replacement for the terrible Date and Calendar.
