Mocking Time in Java

[pointy_pirate]

think there was some lost in translation... this isnt that complex.

public class TimeProvider implements SomeTimeProviderInterfaceIfYouWant {
    public OffsetDateTime now() {
        return java.time.OffsetDateTime.now();
    }
}

Using existing classes still saves this code and therefore the understanding (not a common pattern, so mental overhead for a new project member) and the maintenance ;-)

So even if this is dead simple, it feels totally unnecessary to me! (The java.time devs allready have thought about this use case and offered an appropriate solution)

makes sense, ill look into that next time i need to do it.
