"Writting our own code" versus "introducing an other dependency" is probably a case-by-case basis. In the particular case of Joda library, we have a standard Java class (GregorianCalandar) with lot of defaults, but doing enough work for allowing us to wait for the inclusion of a Joda-like librar

I have to register with Andrea under the dissenting opinion here. The "invent here" policy does not sound like a good idea to me.
