I'm new to Joda-Time. Perhaps some of my assumptions were wrong. I
thought JSR-310 was all based on Joda-Time and assumed that anything
new in JSR-310 would be tested by adding it to Joda-Time. When you say
JSR-310 has it, do you mean that it's in the spec or that there is
different library I could download now that has it?
Here's the implementation I came up with. If it looks useful, feel
free to add it to Joda-Time under whatever name you think is best.
/**
* Gets the nth given weekday of a given month.
* For example, to find the 4th Thursday of the month of November
in 2008,
* getNthWeekday(2008, 11, DateTimeConstants.THURSDAY, 4)
* @param year the year
* @param month the month
* @param weekday the day of the week (such as Thursday)
* @param n the number of that day within the month (such as the
4th)
* @return the LocalDate
*/
private static LocalDate getNthWeekday(
int year, int month, int weekday, int n) {
// Get the 1st day of the month.
LocalDate ld = new LocalDate(year, month, 1);
// Determine the number of days to advance to get to
// the first requested weekday of the month.
int firstWeekday = ld.getDayOfWeek();
int diff = (7 - firstWeekday + weekday) % 7;
return ld.plusDays(diff).plusWeeks(n - 1);
}
