How to format Joda-Time DateTime to only mm/dd/yyyy?

Question

I have a string \"11/15/2013 08:00:00\", I want to format it to \"11/15/2013\", what is the correct DateTimeFormatter pattern?

Answer 1

I am adding this here even though the other answers are completely acceptable. JodaTime has parsers pre built in DateTimeFormat:

dateTime.toString(DateTimeFormat.longDate());

This is most of the options printed out with their format:

shortDate:         11/3/16
shortDateTime:     11/3/16 4:25 AM
mediumDate:        Nov 3, 2016
mediumDateTime:    Nov 3, 2016 4:25:35 AM
longDate:          November 3, 2016
longDateTime:      November 3, 2016 4:25:35 AM MDT
fullDate:          Thursday, November 3, 2016
fullDateTime:      Thursday, November 3, 2016 4:25:35 AM Mountain Daylight Time
