Difference of two Joda LocalDateTimes

Question

I\'ve got 2 Joda LocalDateTime objects and need to produce a 3rd that represents the difference between them:

LocalDateTime start = getStartLoca

public static void printTimeDiffJoda(final String start, final String end) {

        SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

        try {
            // Parse datetime string to org.joda.time.DateTime instance
            DateTime startDate = new DateTime(format.parse(start));
            DateTime endDate = new DateTime(format.parse(end));

            System.out.println("Joda Time API - Time Difference ");
            System.out.println("in years: " + Years.yearsBetween(startDate, endDate).getYears());
            System.out.println("in months: " + Months.monthsBetween(startDate, endDate).getMonths());
            System.out.println("in days: " + Days.daysBetween(startDate, endDate).getDays());
            System.out.println("in hours: " + Hours.hoursBetween(startDate, endDate).getHours());
            System.out.println("in minutes: " + Minutes.minutesBetween(startDate, endDate).getMinutes());
            System.out.println("in seconds: " + Seconds.secondsBetween(startDate, endDate).getSeconds());
            System.out.println();

        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
}
