Getting last day of month

public static int getLastDayOfMonth {
    //
    // Get a calendar instance
    //
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    
    //
    // Get the last date of the current month.
        //  To get the last date for a
    // specific month you can set the calendar month 
        //using calendar object
    // calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, theMonth) method.
    //    
    int lastDate = calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE);
    
    //
    // Set the calendar date to the last date of the month so then we can
    // get the last day of the month
    //
    calendar.set(Calendar.DATE, lastDate);    
    int lastDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    
    //
    // Print the current date and the last date of the month
    //
    System.out.println("Last Date: " + calendar.getTime());
    
    //
    // The lastDay will be in a value from 1 to 7 where 1 = monday and 7 =
    // saturday respectively.
    //
      return lastDay;
    }
