With JSR 310 on the way, you'll be ahead of your time if you support  
DateTime ;)

While you obviously have to support java.util.Date, it sounds like a  
great idea to sort of promote Joda-Time by providing out of the box  
support for DateTime. Partly due to JSR 310, I bet you'll see more  
and more shops coming to the same conclusion we did recently: stop  
hiding Joda-Time exclusively inside complex date/time logic and just  
push it all the way through the app -- from persistence layer to UI.
