java - joda time - add weekdays to date

Question

Is it possible to add weekdays to joda time?

For instance, if current date is Friday 01/03, date + 1 should return Monday 04/03, rather than 02/03.

Answer 1

As far as I know there is no built-in method to automatically do this for you in Joda Time. However, you could write your own method, that increments the date in a loop until you get to a weekday.

Note that, depending on what you need it for exactly, this could be (much) more complicated than you think. For example, should it skip holidays too? Which days are holidays depends on which country you're in. Also, in some countries (for example, Arabic countries) the weekend is on Thursday and Friday, not Saturday and Sunday.
