Adding two business days to current date:

    Date today = new Date();
    Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal1.setTime(today);

    switch(cal1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)){

        case 1:
                cal1.add(Calendar.DATE, 2);
                break;
        case 2: 
                cal1.add(Calendar.DATE, 2);
                break;
        case 3: 
                cal1.add(Calendar.DATE, 2);
                break;
        case 4: 
                cal1.add(Calendar.DATE, 2);
                break;
        case 5: 
                cal1.add(Calendar.DATE, 4);
                break;
        case 6: 
                cal1.add(Calendar.DATE, 4);
                break;
        case 7: 
                cal1.add(Calendar.DATE, 3);
                break;

    }

    // You may also set the time to meet your purpose: 
    cal1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 23);
    cal1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 59);
    cal1.set(Calendar.SECOND, 59);
    cal1.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 00);

    Date twoWeekdaysAhead = cal1.getTime();
