I can see how this might be useful. It is essentially the Duration between the start of two dates.
There are complications that this code doesn't handle. Firstly, DateMidnight is effectively deprecated as it doesn't handle the case where 00:00 to 01:00 does not exist due to DST. There are definitely other cases than 23, 24 and 35 hours days. Although I've never seen it, it would be possible for DST to skip 23:30 to 00:30, or repeat those times. That would haveto be handled as well. Finally, a Period is probably the right result type, once the data is calculated. So, yes poentially useful, but hard to implement (harder than the code below ;-) thanks Stephen On 22 November 2012 10:41, Joda forum Bill Comer <bill.j...@beanfactory.co.uk> wrote: > Hi all, > > I was recently had a requirement where I needed to determine if a day was a > LONG, SHORT or NORMAL day, > & I wondered if it would be a useful addition to Joda-Time. > > I have written it up here - > http://billcomer.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/clock-changing-is-this-long-short-or.html > > But here it is as well. > > public enum ClockChangeInfo { > > LONG_DAY(90000000, 25), SHORT_DAY(82800000, 23), NORMAL_DAY(86400000, 24), > INDETERMINATE(0, 0);
