How to get current time+n months in java?

Question

I have searched a lot on internet about how to get current time in Java but what I am looking for is how to get current time + n months?

Be careful though, be sure to check your use case. Adding a month, what does this mean? What should happen 31st of January when you add a month? Should you get 28th of Feb (and in some years 29th)? (probably yes). What is your use case? — Roy van Rijn, Dec 16 '15 at 11:52

You can try like this:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); 
cal.add(Calendar.MONTH, numberofMonths);

If you can use Java 8, use LocalDate.plusMonths()

LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();
localDate.plusMonths(numberOfMonths);
