Incrementing a java.util.Date by one day

Question

What is the correct way to increment a java.util.Date by one day.

I\'m thinking something like

        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        ca

Yeah, that's right. Java Date APIs feel wrong quite often. I recommend you try Joda Time. It would be something like:

DateTime startDate = ...
DateTime endDate = startDate.plusDays(1);

or:

Instant start = ...
Instant end = start.plus(Days.days(1).toStandardDuration());
