title: Joda Time classes don't have any constructors... why? And what am I doing wrong?
body: <p>Apparently Scala on Eclipse tries to convince me that <code>DateTime</code>, <code>Period</code>, <code>DateMidnight</code> and many other classes in Joda Time don't have any constructors</p>
  
  <p>Which is odd considering the fact that the documentation for them shows a constructor and a number of methods</p>
  
  <p>The only things I have access to are the static methods such as <code>DateTime.now()</code> and <code>DateTime.parse()</code></p>
  
  <p>Note that I have added the <code>joda-time-2.2.jar</code>, <code>joda-time-2.2-sources.jar</code>, and <code>joda-time-2.2-javadoc.jar</code> files to the java build path of the project...</p>
  
  <p>and yet whenever I try to make an instance of say <code>DateTime</code> Eclipse will tell me <code>org.joda.time.DateTime does not have a constructor</code></p>
  
  <p>So anyone got any idea why I get this error? And more importantly, how do I fix it?</p>
