  java swing jodatime jspinner
  I got a custom class that contains JodaTime’s LocalDate variable to hold a date. My swing application has a JSpinner with Date model. I made a button click event so that the date gets stored inside an object’s LocalDate data member. Problem is compiler gives me the IllegalArgumentException. I tried to use LocalDate.parse(spinnerDate.getVAlue().toString()) but is not working. Also tried to switch to using DateTime type but same result was given.
