I got the answer: It's very simple.

DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");
String formattedDate = jodeLocalDateObj.toString( fmt );

Answer

LocalDate's toString can take a format string directly, so you can skip creating the DateTimeFormatter:

String formattedDate = myLocalDate.toString("MM/dd/yyyy");
