scala - How to call public static method defined in Java from Scala?

Question

I am trying call org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter#forPattern method.

But following seems not working.

scala> import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter

scala> DateTimeFormatter.forPattern("yyyyMMdd")
<console>:30: error: value forPattern is not a member of object org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter
       DateTimeFormatter.forPattern("yyyyMMdd")
                         ^

Any pointer would be appreciated.

Java - Scala interoperability works as expected in such scenarios. You just messed up the class names probably. There is no DateTimeFormatter#forPattern according to this but there is DateTimeFormat#forPattern.

DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyyMMdd")

works like a charm.
