We are using Calendar.roll to either move the dates up or down. The javadoc mentions that the larger fields are not modified (i.e. if we move the date by 5 to the left starting on the first day of the month, unfortunately the calendar.getTime() doesn’t get me a value from the previous month). The month value remains unchanged, how do I change this behavior. I really would like to move the date value as appropriate. (e.g. If I moved 5 days to the left on Aug 1st, 2010 – I would want to see Jun 27th, 2010 instead of Aug 27th, 2010). What am I missing here?
