Convert from java.util.date to JodaTime

Question

I want to convert a java.util.Date to JodaTime so as to carry out subtractions between dates. Is there a good concise way to convert from Date to JodaTime?

Answer 1

java.util.Date date = ...

DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(date);

Make certain date isn't negative, though, otherwise it seems like new DateTime() - I don't wish that.
