date span / addition

[howud...@gmail.com]

how can I add N days or N years to a date?

Normally I would do:

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(new Date()); // Now use today date.
c.add(Calendar.DATE, 5); // Adding 5 days

What's not working with this?
Notice that DATE is really DAY_OF_MONTH.

well look at that...I thought Calendar was a UI object.  I see java.util.Calendar now :)
