Time consts in Java?

Question

Is there a Java package with all the annoying time constants like milliseconds/seconds/minutes in a minute/hour/day/year? I\'d hate to duplicate something like that.

Answer 1

Joda-Time contains classes such as Days, which contain methods such as toStandardSeconds(). So you can write:

int seconds = Days.ONE.toStandardSeconds();

although it seems a little verbose, and perhaps is only useful for more complex scenarios such as leap years etc.
