You have a couple of options... (1) you can use the Calendar class to calculate the two weeks from the current date, or (2) you can just get the time in milliseconds from the date, add two weeks worth of milliseconds, and then create a new data object.

how do you do that henry?

java.util.Calendar.
Read it, try the methods you think you should use (hint: they are quite well named), then come back if you still have any questions.

I agree, and I recommend Calendar class because the code will be more readable.

That's a bold move - posting with an invalid name just directly under a name violation warning. Since you've already been warned officially by Campbell just today I won't report this officially again, but be warned - you really need to change your display name here.
