Joda-Time, Time without date

I want a Class that only stores the time and not the date or day. Is there a class for this in Joda-Time ? or do I have to use a Date time and convert only the time part into a string and then use that part ?

Java 8 now has its own LocalTime class. No need for an external library.

Since JodaTime 2.0, it's also possible to instanciate a time without date like this:

LocalTime time = LocalTime.parse( //
      "12h20", //
       DateTimeFormatter.forPattern("HH'h'mm") //
);

There's the LocalTime class for that purpose.

Read more about partials here. E.g.:

LocalTime time = new LocalTime(12, 20);
String formatted = time.toString("HH:mm");
