           Summary: add generic add method to DateUtils
           Product: Commons
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Lang

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();
  }
