Hi,

I am trying to write a simple method that returns todays date + 30. So far I
have the following:

  SimpleDateFormat now=new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy-mm-dd");
  Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
  c.setTime(new Date());
  c.add(Calendar.DATE,days);
  return now.format(c.getTime());

I think it should work but it is giving me incorrect dates like: 2002-13-15.

Could someone please set me straight.

Alex
