Getting last day of month

public static int getLastDayOfMonth {
//
// Get a calendar instance
//
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

//
// Get the last date of the current month.
// To get the last date for a
// specific month you can set the calendar month
//using calendar object
// calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, theMonth) method.
//
int lastDate = calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE);

//
// Set the calendar date to the last date of the month so then we can
// get the last day of the month
//
calendar.set(Calendar.DATE, lastDate);
int lastDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);

//
// Print the current date and the last date of the month
//
System.out.println("Last Date: " + calendar.getTime());

//
// The lastDay will be in a value from 1 to 7 where 1 = monday and 7 =
// saturday respectively.
//
return lastDay;
