By setting the first day of your week via:calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SUNDAY);?

In USA sunday is the first day of the week and it's a weekend day, in Europe monday is the first day of the week and it isn't weekend day. I need means to get weekend days for different locales.

SO, construct your calendars with different weekends for different locales - where is the problem?

I was asking for standard ways to get weekend days. I know I can implement this.

If you search the API documentation in obvious places like Calendar and Locale, you won't find the word "weekend" anywhere.

if you want that kind of locale specific functionality get icu4j: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/downloads.jsp
