How to get start and end date of a year?

Question

I have to use the Java Date class for this problem (it interfaces with something out of my control).

How do I get the start and end date of a year and then

Answer 1

You can use Jodatime as shown in this thread Java Joda Time - Implement a Date range iterator

Also, you can use gregorian calendar and move one day at a time, as shown here. I need a cycle which iterates through dates interval

PS. Piece of advice: search it first.
