How to handle jodatime Illegal instant due to time zone offset transition

Question

I want to set up joda DateTime to today at 2 AM (see sample code below). But I\'m getting this exception:

Exception in thread \"main\" org.joda.         


        

Answer 1

Update to jodatime 2.1 and use LocalDate.parse():

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("dd/MM/yyyy");
LocalDate.parse(date, formatter);
