Hi,

Does anyone know how we can get the first date of next month? So for example if I have a Date object for "Feb 7, 2012" I need to get "March 1, 2012".

Thanks in advance for any help.

Class java.util.Calendar has methods to do this. I'd do it like this: get a Calendar instance, set the day of the month to 1, then add 1 month. Lookup the API documentation of class Calendar for the appropriate methods to use.
