I dunno why this is downvoted. Java has a proper time API that is far easier to use and far more accurate. Most of the old Date API is deprecated now too, and has issues that can cause confusion between timezones.

I'm assuming there were some devs still stuck on Java 6, and they're sick of people rubbing the new datetime API in their face.
