Parsing time strings like “1h 30min”

Question

Anyone know of a Java library that can parse time strings such as \"30min\" or \"2h 15min\" or \"2d 15h 30min\" as milliseconds (or some kind of Duration object). Can Joda-T

Answer 1

No, Joda defaults to taking only Durations, Instant intervals, and objects. For the latter it accepts things like Dates or SOAP ISO format. You can add you own converter here for the Duration class, and admittedly that would hide all your ugly code.
