Conversions to/from String and legacy date types

Hey @gunnarmorling. As this is similar to Joda integration I would like to do this one and Issue #145 too.

[gunnarmorling]

@timoe That's awesome; Just assigned it to you.

@timoe Hey, are you still interested in contributing this feature?

[timoe]

Hey Gunnar. I am. Back from vacation I´m going to do it this week

[timoe]

Hey Gunnar,

do you have any hint how to integrate the changes I did on the "processor" module for integration java 8 date & time. Should that be done similar to "core" and "core-jdk8" modules?
If you take a look at my last commit there are no runtime dependency to new date and time types but only test deps.

Test deps should be OK, as we need to build with JDK8 anyway... 😉

[timoe]

ok, so you haven´t done any magic with mavens toolchains :-P

[gunnarmorling]

@agudian, @timoe: That's done already, right? I guess only the doc update is missing?

[gunnarmorling]

I guess only the doc update is missing?

Ah, no, that's already done as well on the Beta3 doc branch. Thanks, @timoe!
