Well, ICU already ships with base Eclipse and has Date/Time services?

http://www.icu-project.org/userguide/dateTime.html
http://www.icu-project.org/userguide/dateCalendar.html#cal

Therefore you may not need JodaTime.

JodaTime provides a better API for working with dates/times in general. Eventually we will have better support in Java 7 (JSR310, http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2008/09/18/jsr-310-new-java-date-time-api.html). The JodaTime founder and lead is one of the spec leads. ICU really has a different goal than JodaTime.
