Calculating end date while skipping holidays + Joda time

Question

I would like to calculate end date (and time) of an event. I know starting date and duration (in minutes). But:

1. I have to skip holidays - non-recurrent situation
2. I have to skip weekends - recurrent situation
3. I have to not count working time (e.g: from 8:00am till 5:00pm) - recurrent situation, but with finer granularity

Is there a simple way to achieve these cases using Joda time library?

Answer 1

Jodatime will help you -a lot I'd say-, but you'll need to write the logic yourself, a loop skipping some entire days and some times of the day. Not very simple, neither very complex, it seems to me.
