jodatime

Hello, How to specify the format string to convert the date alone from string. In my case, only the date part is relevant

Constructing it as DateTime fails

String dateString = "2009-04-17";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd");
DateTime dateTime = formatter.parseDateTime(dateString);

with error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format: "2011-04-17" is too short

Probably because I should use LocalTime instead. But, I do not see any formatter for LocalTime . What is the best way to convert String dateString = "2009-04-17"; into LocalDate (or something else if that is not the right representation)

thanks...
