Download and Installation

To use Joda-Time you need to download the latest version. The download will contain the joda-time-1.5.2.jar. Once you add this to your classpath you will be able to use Joda-Time.

The binary download also includes joda-time-1.5.2-sources.jar, which is a jar file of the source code suitable for linking to the jar file in IDEs such as Eclipse.

The release notes for upgraders can be found here:

If you want to build Joda-Time from source you will need Apache Ant. Simply call ant jar to compile and create a jar file.

Compilation is also available using Apache Maven. Maven is intended to be used primarily as a website generation tool. Ant is our preferred build tool.
