java计算两个日期之间相隔的月份（向下取整）

最近需求里面有个需要计算两个日期之间相隔的月份，写起来还挺繁琐，需要将各种情况都要考虑到，写了一个作为以后自己的工具吧。
 1 //获取哪一天
 2     public static int getDay(Date date) {
 3         Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
 4         calendar.setTime(date);
 5         return calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
 6     }

 8     /**
 9      * 返回日期的月份，1-12,即yyyy-MM-dd中的MM

11      * @param date
12      * @return

14     public static int getMonth(Date date) {
15         Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
16         calendar.setTime(date);
17         return calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
18     }
