Ok. When I went back to my question this morning, there were several replies to it. I went through the sites mentioned and found answer to my problem. <br />
I then clicked the 'Accept Answer' to one of them. (I could not accept multiple answers).<br />
<br />
That is why I mentioned 'Thanks to you all' in my comments. <br />

In Java , I would like to determine if a 'Monday' is the first or second etc. <br />
<br />
How do we do that. We have the Calendar. WeekOfMonth. That will give us only the week number of a day.<br />
<br />
thanks in advance

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
