Comparing two dates using Joda time

date, java, jodatime, time

Solution

System.out.println(d.toDateMidnight().isEqual(e.toDateMidnight()));

or

System.out.println(d.withTimeAtStartOfDay().isEqual(e.withTimeAtStartOfDay()));

Problem

I want to compare two dates, however I'm running into trouble. 1 date is created from a `java.util.date` object and the other is manually crafted. The following code is an example: ``` Date ds = new Date(); DateTime d = new DateTime(ds); DateTime e = new DateTime(2012,12,07, 0, 0); System.out.println(d.isEqual(e)); ``` However the test turns out `false`. I am guessing that it is because of the time. How can I check if these two dates are equal to each other (I mean the Year, month, date are identical)?
