Grails + How to add months to a Date

Question

In Grails, is there a simple way to add/subtract months to/from a date?

We have methods like dateObj.add(10), which would add 10 days to dateObj. So my question is is there a way to add months.

Answer 1

The TimeCategory class provides a DSL for time manipulation:

import groovy.time.TimeCategory

use (TimeCategory) {
    twoMonthsFromNow = new Date() + 2.month
}

The documentation for TimeCategory can be found here.

Answer 2

You can try :

d = new GregorianCalendar() 
d.setTime(new Date()) 
d.add(Calendar.MONTH,5) 
d.getTime()
