java.util.Date: seven days ago

Question

I have a report created in Jasper Reports which ONLY recognizes java.util.Date\'s (not Calendar or Gregorian, etc).

Is there a way to create a date 7 days prior to t

Answer 1

try

 Date sevenDay = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - 7L * 24 * 3600 * 1000));

Another way is to use Calendar but I don't like using it myself.
