java.util.Date - Deleting three months from a date?

Question

I have a date of type java.util.Date

I want to subtract three months from it.

Not finding a lot of joy in the API.

Answer 1

Ok with java.sql.Date (subclass of java.util.Date) and JDK's 8 LocalDate help you can do it in one line ;)

Date date = java.sql.Date.valueOf(LocalDate.now().minus(3, ChronoUnit.MONTHS));
