Question

How can I convert year and week to Java Date object? I'm using JodaTime, but standard Java classes using solution is fine too.

Answer 1

Solution using standard java classes. This just gets the current time and sets the fields of year and week of year to known values.

Calendar cld = Calendar.getInstance();
cld.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
cld.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, week);
Date result = cld.getTime();
