Keep your Longs as millisecond UTC timestmaps and you should be ok. That being said, it does make sense to keep your time information in time-specific objects. To use scala-time add the following to the dependencies section of your POM: <!-- for scala-time --> <dependency> <groupId>org.scala-tools</groupId> <artifactId>time</artifactId> <version>2.7.4-0.1</version> <!-- FIXME: Using version for Scala 2.7.4! --> </dependency>
As I mentioned in your original thread about time, Jorge hasn't compiled scala-time for the latest versions of Scala but I found that the 2.7.4 version worked.
