Hi, It's been like a ton of years since this post, and I apologize: http://www.mail-archive.com/joda-interest@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00520.html
I finally got some time to peek at joda-time-hibernate again, and found the following: 1.- The package-info works fine. You just map something like this in your model class and it gets persisted as expected: @Type(type = "dateTime") private DateTime timestamp = new DateTime(); 2.- It's weird, but this will not work (at least in my environment) if you include it in joda-time-hibernate.jar. For me, it is only working if I put the package-info file inside a "org.joda.time" package in the same class folder that the model class. Putting it in a different jar file gets it ignored. I'm posting this just to get it documented somewhere. The package-info file follows, to use it: 1.- Save this file as "package-info.java" inside a "org.joda.time" package in your model class folder. It must get compiled just as any java file. 2.- Add your persistent attributes as specified above. 3.- Test your persistence. Sorry but I have not been able to put it inside the joda-time-hibernate.jar. It is quite an obscure Hibernate feature, maybe it gets improved in the future.
