    Resolution: Won't Fix

The problem is that Joda Time would be another dependency in Velocity Generic 
Tools the way you proposed it.
However I think it could be a nice addition as a separate module.
But I don't think that any current Velocity developer has time to work on it. 
You can provide a patch or (probably better and easier) create an Apache Extras 
project:

> Support Joda Time in $date tool

> The $date tool doesn't support Joda Time formats. This may be as simple as 
> just updating the ConversionUtil class to convert Joda time objects to 
> java.util.Date types.
> If updating ConversionUtils it might also be nice to get that from a Factory 
> class that can be configured so that users can easily extend ConversionUtils 
> to support other formats such as this. As is it's not easy to extend 
> ConversionUtils.
