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

Another way of doing that is:

String date = dateAndTime.substring(0, dateAndTime.indexOf(" "));

I'm not exactly certain, but I think this might be faster/use less memory than using the .split() method.
