How to add 3 days to a date to get a newdate

1. Create a date based on your text.

2. Roll the date forward.

3. Print out the result.String start = "JUL 28, 2001";

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd, yyyy");

Date d = sdf.parse(start);

GregorianCalender gc = new GregorianCalendar();

gc.setTime(d);

gc.roll(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 3);

Date end = gc.getTime();

System.out.println(end);

I don't remember the behavior of the GregorianCalendar if a year boundary is crossed on the roll, so watch for it.

GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(2001,6,28);

cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 3);

Date newDate = cal.getTime();

System.out.println(newDate);
