title: Is Joda-Time DateTimeFormatter class thread safe?
body: <p>Is the <a href="http://www.joda.org/joda-time/">Joda-Time</a> <code>DateTimeFormatter</code> class <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_safety">thread safe</a>? Once I get an instance from <code>DateTimeFormat.forPattern</code>, can its various parse methods be called by multiple threads? DateTimeFormatter's <a href="http://www.joda.org/joda-time/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html">Javadocs</a> makes no mention of thread safety.</p>
