Migrate from org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatterBuilder to Java Time

Joda-Time DateTimeFormatterBuilder migrates to java.time DateTimeFormatterBuilder.

It's the same concept, a builder of the formatter.

Although, most of the methods have a different signature and some even have no equivalent in java.time

Those methods have no equivalent:

  • canBuildFormatter
  • canBuildPrinter
  • canBuildParser

Find some examples below:

Before 
    DateTimeFormatterBuilder dtfb = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder();
    DateTimeFormatterBuilder appendSecondOfDay = dtfb.appendSecondOfDay(intArg);
After 
    java.time.format.DateTimeFormatterBuilder dtfb = new java.time.format.DateTimeFormatterBuilder();
    java.time.format.DateTimeFormatterBuilder appendSecondOfDay = dtfb.appendValue(ChronoField.SECOND_OF_DAY, intArg);
