Joda-Time: Get first/second/last sunday of month

Question

In plain Java, I have this code to get the last Sunday of the month.

Calendar getNthOfMonth(int n, int day_of_week, int month, int year) {
    Calendar compareDate = Date(1, month, year);
    compareDate.set(DAY_OF_WEEK, day_of_week);
    compareDate.set(DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH, n);
    return compareDate;
}
// Usage
Calendar lastSundayOfNovember = getNthOfMonth(-1, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER, 2012)

What is a clean and elegant way to achieve the same result using Joda-Time?

Answer 1

public class Time {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(getNthOfMonth(DateTimeConstants.SUNDAY, DateTimeConstants.SEP, 2012));
}


public static LocalDate getNthOfMonth(int day_of_week, int month, int year) {
    LocalDate date = new LocalDate(year, month, 1).dayOfMonth()  
             .withMaximumValue()
             .dayOfWeek()
             .setCopy(day_of_week);
    if(date.getMonthOfYear() != month) {
        return date.dayOfWeek().addToCopy(-7);
    }
    return date;
}
}
