check out the Calendar class. It's pretty simple.

Try out:
java.util.Date startDate = new Date("10/1/2002");
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(startDate);
for (int i=1;i<30;i++){
System.out.println("Value to be Multi : "+i);
calendar.set(calendar.YEAR, calendar.MONTH, calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH + i);//add one day
System.out.println(calendar.geTime);
}
Regards, Scar.

calendar.add(calendar.DATE, 1);//add one day

Scar,

Please change your name to be compliant with JavaRanch's naming policy.
Your displayed name should be 2 separate names with more than 1 letter each. We really would prefer that you use your REAL name.
You can change your name: here.
(Do I sound like a broken record ??? - sigh)
Thanks,
Cindy

Scar's answer is correct. Here is a fully implemented code:
Q. How to do arithmetic in Calendar class?
Another interesting one just follow it:
Q. How to calcucate the date difference between 09-01-2002 23:59:59 and 09-02-2002 00:00:01??
Think what should be the answer, please, before you go there.
