Hi, When you were talking about an event-based journal, an excellent idea BTW, there has to be a qi4j "getDate" event, for replaying purpose. So whenever it happens, a qi4j "Time&Date" system service looks handy. Also, If you seriously use duration and time formatting, joda-time is 'the' rock-solid solution (I agree with Paul, it belongs next to the standard logging jars, in my basic maven stack).
