Re: CalenderUtil Date Math BUG - GWT 2.8 RC2

[Michael Joyner]

As we are not calling a "set" operation but an "addMonthsToDate" operation and as a result we find this behavior surprising - and a little non-intuitive. Calendar does not "skip" a month when using "add" month, the days are adjusted to the end of the next month to prevent month "skipping". It does behave as described with a month "skip" if using "set" month instead.

So yes, the code should behave the same. But the above behaviour is not wrong because it's standard Java behaviour. Whether you use Date.setMonth(n) or Calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, n) Java behaves the same way. That is, if you start on August 31, and set the month to September, then you find you are on October 1.

If so, this is not a bug. Adding one month should do literally that, so you get September 31. But there are only 30 days in September, so this automatically becomes October 1.
