How to convert Joda Localdate to Joda DateTime?

There are various methods on LocalDate for this, including:

• LocalDate::toDateTimeAtCurrentTime()
• LocalDate::toDateTimeAtStartOfDay()
• LocalDate::toDateTime( LocalTime )
• LocalDate::toDateTime( LocalTime , DateTimeZone )

You have to be explicit about what you want the time component to be in the resulting DateTime object, which is why DateTime‘s general-conversion constructor can’t do it.
