This one works for me, short and simple:

public static Date getBusinessDay(final Date date, final int businessDaysFromDate) {

final int max = 60;
if (date == null) {
  return getBusinessDay(new Date(), businessDaysFromDate);
} else if (date != null && (businessDaysFromDate < 0 || businessDaysFromDate > max)) {
  return getBusinessDay(date, 0);
} else {
  final Calendar baseDateCal = Calendar.getInstance();
  baseDateCal.setTime(date);
  for (int i = 1; i <= businessDaysFromDate; i++) {
    baseDateCal.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
    while (baseDateCal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SATURDAY || baseDateCal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SUNDAY) {
      baseDateCal.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
    }
  }
  return baseDateCal.getTime();
}

}
