Working with MySQL date + time in Java

Question

Is there any Java Library or class that makes it easy to work with MySQL datetime fields?

For example, something that will take a string in MySQL Date format, and return a Java date object?

If not, is it better to store dates/times in a format other than MySQL datetime, to make it easier to work with them in Java?

I would suggest that you use the SimpleDateFormat class. You will need to work out how the date is stored in MySQL and accordingly use the pattern.
