Add OffsetDate
Closed this issue · 6 comments
After adding support for ThreeTen-Extra in threeten-jaxb/threeten-jaxb I want to tackle better compatibility with the XML schema definitions, especially xs:date.
You already explained, why OffsetDate even exists in a Stack Overflow answer.
I found that OffsetDate was removed from ThreeTen, because there are only few use cases: ThreeTen/threeten#228
Others are reimplementing OffsetDate on their own, like Addicticks/jaxbdatetime, but I think, it might be better to have it in ThreeTen-Extra. What are your thoughts on this?
I think this would make a good addition to ThreeTen-Extra.
Great to hear!
What are the steps to achieve this? Is it possible to use the implementation once removed from ThreeTen? Should I provide a PR or would that be more of a hinderance?
If you'd like to dig out the one from ThreeTenBP history that would be a good start. I'll probably end up adding to it, but if you could create the branch with the class and test that would be a good start.
Okay. When I find time, I'll try to get most of what was removed with ThreeTen/threetenbp@d9ad1de to work in ThreeTen-Extra.
I started working on this and I created a PR to make it easier to talk about it: #138
Fixed by #138
