I tend to work date mechanics like this:
//this already gets me the current date. It also lets the JVM decide the type of Calendar.
Calendar workingCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
//note that this will give you a date of exactly 365 days ago, not a "year" ago.
//some years are longer.
workingCalendar.add( Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -365 );
//then you can get out the time, date, NSTimestamp, etc. from the calendar...

Subject: Date calculation
Read through the archives to get tips on date calc. The consensus seems to
be to convert NSTimestamp to GregorianCalendar to get accuracy.
I need to find the date 1 year ago and tried this:
NSTimestamp timestamp = new NSTimestamp();
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
cal.setTime(timestamp);
cal.add( GregorianCalendar.DATE, -365);
newtime = new NSTimestamp(cal.getTime());
But get a compiler error on line 3: 'identifier expected'
What's the problem?
