Have a look at the java.util.Calendar class. For example:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.Calendar;
    public class CalendarExample {
        public static void main (String argv[]) {
            Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
            cal.set(2007, 8, 9); /* year, month, day */
            System.out.println("Week of Month: " +
                    cal.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH));
        }
    }
Another approach, useful if you have to characterize dates more fully as, for 
example, weekday vs. weekend, holidays (perhaps with separate logic for 
holidays in different countries), "A" days vs. "B" days or other attributes 
not known to java.util.Calendar, is to use a database table of dates.  Each 
date is tagged with the attributes of interest.  Then all you have to do is 
SELECT from that table to find out if a given date is a weekend, holiday or 
whatever.  It also supports queries like "how many non-holiday days are in an 
interval, after the first four?"
