Java – joda time: get the first / second / last Sunday of the month

In normal Java, I have this code to get the last Sunday of this 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?

Solution

public class Time {

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