    - #### parseDateTime

          public static org.joda.time.DateTime parseDateTime(String lexicalXSDDate)

      Parses a datetime from the given lexicalXSDDate, returning a new DateTime. (ISO8601 standard)

      The parse will use the zone and chronology specified on this formatter.

      If the lexicalXSDDate contains a time zone string then that will be taken into account in adjusting the time of day as follows. The the resulting DateTime will have the zone of this formatter, but the parsed zone may have caused the time to be adjusted.

           datetime          = time | date-opt-time
           time              = 'T' time-element [offset]
           date-opt-time     = date-element ['T' [time-element] [offset]]
           date-element      = std-date-element | ord-date-element | week-date-element
           std-date-element  = yyyy ['-' MM ['-' dd]]
           ord-date-element  = yyyy ['-' DDD]
           week-date-element = xxxx '-W' ww ['-' e]
           time-element      = HH [minute-element] | [fraction]
           minute-element    = ':' mm [second-element] | [fraction]
           second-element    = ':' ss [fraction]
           fraction          = ('.' | ',') digit+
           offset            = 'Z' | (('+' | '-') HH [':' mm [':' ss [('.' | ',') SSS]]])

      for example: 2012-10-15T05:38:14.030+02:00

      Parameters:
        `lexicalXSDDate` -
      Returns:
        the new DateTime

    - #### printDateTime

          public static String printDateTime(org.joda.time.DateTime dateTime)

      Combines the date and time by using the following format: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZ
      Parameters:
        `dateTime` -
      Returns:
        the string value

    - #### parseTime

          public static org.joda.time.DateTime parseTime(String lexicalXSDDate)

      Parses a time from the given lexicalXSDDate, returning a new DateTime. (ISO8601 standard)

           time           = ['T'] time-element [offset]
           time-element   = HH [minute-element] | [fraction]
           minute-element = ':' mm [second-element] | [fraction]
           second-element = ':' ss [fraction]
           fraction       = ('.' | ',') digit+
           offset         = 'Z' | (('+' | '-') HH [':' mm [':' ss [('.' | ',') SSS]]])
