How do you get the date/time range for “today” using the Joda date/time library in Java?

Question

Assuming this is how you get the current time in Joda time:

DateTime now = new DateTime();

How do you calculate values for the variables

Answer 1

This works better, it turns out DateTime has a method called toInterval which does this exact thing (figures out midnight to midnight). In my tests, it appears to have no problem with DST transitions.

DateTime now = new DateTime();
DateTime startOfToday = now.toDateMidnight().toInterval().getStart();
DateTime endOfToday = now.toDateMidnight().toInterval().getEnd();
System.out.println( "\n" + now + "\n" + startOfToday + "\n" + endOfToday + "\n" );

JODA looks to be very well thought out.
