Indeed, the code for the period class uses a different strategy for calculating time, thus
Period
difference = new Period(ymd, ymd2);
will actually work. Oh the confusion...
Perhaps you can appreciate why LocalDate is needed to sort out the mess ;-)
The way to know for sure is to look at the source code of any Joda-Time method.

Hmm... I'm not sure I buy it...Try this:public static void main(String[] args) {YearMonthDay ymd = new YearMonthDay(2006,5,22);
YearMonthDay ymd2 = new YearMonthDay(2006,5,30);Period difference = new Period(ymd, ymd2);System.out.println(difference);DateMidnight dt = ymd.toDateMidnight();System.out.println(dt.plus(difference));
System.out.println(ymd.plus(difference));
}If what you are saying wasn't a bug, then the period "difference" would be "8D", not "1W1D"...Best Regards,JamesPS: not to detract from joda, which is extremely useful!

Subject: Re: [Joda-interest] Weeks not added to YearMonthDay?This is not a bug, however it is confusing.
YearMonthDay does exactly what it says - it holds a Year, Month and Day field internally, and only allows operations on those three fields. As a result, adding a week has no effect, as weeks are an ignored field.
For the next release, v1.3, there will be a new class, LocalDate, which will behave as you expect.

This doesn't output the result I expected:
public static void main(String[] args) {
YearMonthDay ymd = new YearMonthDay(2006,5,23);
DateMidnight dt = ymd.toDateMidnight();
Period p = new Period(0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
System.out.println(dt.plus(p));
System.out.println(ymd.plus(p));
}
Change the period to use any other field and it will work, just not weeks.
This seems to be a bug?
