It's just that I did not notice a short term solutions was in such a near reach. Had a look at the implementations, nice to see there's time interval handling too. At the same time, I'm wondering how this compares to Joda Time, which is also accompained by a JSR created with the hope to incorporate Joda in the JDK.

If I'll ever have to work with ISO something, and be paid to do so, I'll buy the relevant ISO standard. Yet, I'm not sure an organisation that makes "for buy" standards deserves open source implementations of them. If we were to start copying with ISO seriously, we would end up using so many inter-related standards that each one of us would have to pay 1000$, not 30. That's totally unacceptable to me. I'm not asking a dime to people downloading the stuff I did develop in my own spare time. Cheers Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
