#204 Incorrect DMI error message for Date.setDate()

[Anto paul]

Hi,
FindBugs is displaying incorrect message for the
bug DMI_BAD_MONTH. (DMI: Passes a constant value for a
month outside of the expected range of 0..11). The
message is given for followng piece of code where it
calls the setDate() method on a java.util.Date object.

today.setDate(16);

Actually this error is to be given for setMonth().

FindBugs 0.9.6 is used.

The full source code is given below.

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Calendar;

public class TestDate {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
System.out.println(today);
today.setDate(16);
System.out.println(today);
}
}

I am attaching the saved bug report.

Regards,
Anto Paul
