Description

Currently Isis doesn't support Joda-Time values[1]. It would be nice to have support for at least the following fields:

With timezone:

• org.joda.time.Date
• org.joda.time.DateTime
  Without timezone:
• org.joda.time.LocalDate
• org.joda.time.LocalDateTime

The DataNucleus persistence layer supports these values and it might be worth investigating if the Isis Date and DataTime values could be deprecated in the future since these are merely wrappers around Joda-Time.
