How to convert Joda-Time DateTime to java.util.Date and vice versa?

Question

Is it possible to do that? If yes, then how do I do the conversion from Joda-Time to Date and vice versa?

Accepted Answer

To convert Java `Date` to Joda `DateTime`:-

```
Date date = new Date();
DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(date);
```

And vice versa:-

```
Date dateNew = dateTime.toDate();
```

With `TimeZone`, if required:-

```
DateTime dateTimeNew = new DateTime(date.getTime(), timeZone);
Date dateTimeZone = dateTime.toDateTimeAtStartOfDay(timeZone).toDate();
```
