> There is no way to do Date arithmetic in one line in Java, unless you use
> deprecated methods.  The following method initializes a Calendar object with a
> date and performs date arithmetic on it, and returns the result as a java.util.Date.
>   public static Date add(Date date, int field, int amount) {
>     Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
>     c.setTime(date);
>     c.add(field, amount);
>     return c.getTime();
>   }
