How to get the last date of a particular month with JodaTime?

Question

I need to get the first date (as org.joda.time.LocalDate) of a month and the last one. Getting the first is trivial, but getting the last seems to need some log

Answer 1

Using JodaTime,we can do this :

    public static final Integer CURRENT_YEAR = DateTime.now().getYear();

    public static final Integer CURRENT_MONTH = DateTime.now().getMonthOfYear();

    public static final Integer LAST_DAY_OF_CURRENT_MONTH = DateTime.now()
            .dayOfMonth().getMaximumValue();

    public static final Integer LAST_HOUR_OF_CURRENT_DAY = DateTime.now()
            .hourOfDay().getMaximumValue();

    public static final Integer LAST_MINUTE_OF_CURRENT_HOUR = DateTime.now().minuteOfHour().getMaximumValue();

    public static final Integer LAST_SECOND_OF_CURRENT_MINUTE = DateTime.now().secondOfMinute().getMaximumValue();


    public static DateTime getLastDateOfMonth() {
        return new DateTime(CURRENT_YEAR, CURRENT_MONTH,
                LAST_DAY_OF_CURRENT_MONTH, LAST_HOUR_OF_CURRENT_DAY,
                LAST_MINUTE_OF_CURRENT_HOUR, LAST_SECOND_OF_CURRENT_MINUTE);
    }

As describe here in my small gist on github : A JodaTime and java.util.Date Util Class with a lot of usefull functions.
