Remove dependency on joda-time?

[betrcode]

Would it be possible to remove the dependency on joda-time?

I believe it was nice to use before Java 8 or something, but nowadays the standard java.time package contains everything(?) you may need.

Why do I care? We try to reduce the dependencies of our application, to keep it as lean as possible, to avoid dependency conflicts, to reduce artifact size etc. We get joda-time pulled in as a transitive dependency just because it is used by aws-java-sdk-core

From mvn dependency:tree:

[INFO] +- com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-core:jar:1.12.382:compile
[INFO] |  +- commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.2:compile
[INFO] |  +- commons-codec:commons-codec:jar:1.15:compile
[INFO] |  +- software.amazon.ion:ion-java:jar:1.0.2:compile
[INFO] |  +- com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-cbor:jar:2.14.1:compile
[INFO] |  \- joda-time:joda-time:jar:2.12.2:compile

Yes, we are on a slightly older version of aws-java-sdk-core than the latest, but I believe it's still a dependency in the latest version.

Oh. I just realized that there is a v2 of this project published as a different artifact.
And that I just just migrate to v2 (and hope it has no joda-time dependency) 😄
