Spring Convert java.util.Date to java.time.*

    Date date = new Date();
    ConversionService cs = DefaultConversionService.getSharedInstance();
    cs.convert(date, Year.class);
    cs.convert(date, YearMonth.class);
    cs.convert(date, LocalDate.class);
    cs.convert(date, LocalDateTime.class);

Feel free to close it if you don't think it's worthwhile.

Since java.util.Date conversions are rather messy except for a direct conversion to java.time.Instant (which matches the Date timestamp semantics), we intentionally limit the supported cases here. Also, since the logic is rather involved and spread out between java.time and Joda-Time support, we're keeping it in dedicated subpackages where FormattingConversionService picks it up, with a focus on conversion from String but also some limited support for type-to-type conversion.
