JodaTime equivalent of DateUtils.truncate()

Question

I have never used JodaTime before, but answering this question, How to get ordinal Weekdays in a Month.

I tried it and came up with this ugly code to unset all fiel

Answer 1

Joda Time also supports the withFields method in the DateTime type. This can also be used to create a short syntax:

new DateTime().withDayOfMonth(1).withFields(new LocalTime(0, 0));

In production code the argument to withFields should be factored out to a constant.
