modernizer-maven-plugin Joda Instant

Question

I am trying to construct an org.joda.time.Instant from a LocalDate. Ordinarily it is as simple as;

new org.joda.time.Instant(myDate.atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant().toEpochMilli());

But the project I am working on uses the modernizer-maven-plugin and there is a violation on Prefer java.time.Instant. I am not able to change the API of the class I am attempting to use.

So, my question is how do "Prefer java.time.Instant"?

Thx

You can disable specific instances of Modernizer violations via the @SuppressModernizer annotation:

https://github.com/gaul/modernizer-maven-plugin#ignoring-elements

To ignore all instances of a violation, you can add an <exclusions> stanza similar to:

<exclusions>
    <exclusion>org/joda/time/Instant.now:()Lorg/joda/time/Instant;</exclusion>
    <exclusion>org/joda/time/Instant.parse:(Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/joda/time/Instant;</exclusion>
    <exclusion>org/joda/time/Instant."&lt;init&gt;":(J)V</exclusion>
</exclusions>
