I like the idea of splitting jodatime support into dedicated modules (similar to what's being discussed for Guava) to minimize dependencies for those using DropWizard but not jodatime.

Currently java.time and jodatime are both supported in Dropwizard. What are the reasons for dropping jodatime?

Wasn't aware that both were supported. Thanks!

Yeah I'll re-open this since there is discussion on the removing guava as a dependency
