Indeed it is.  But that doesn't work if you use variables in the
constructor's parameters, as people might well do; in that case you still
need to know to subtract 1 from the month number to make it work.

PC2,

It is a good idea to use the named constants like Calendar.SEPTEMBER
just like it is generally better to code something like:

public static final boolean SUMMARY_OUTPUT = true;
public static final boolean DETAIL_OUTPUT = false;
...
Report report = new Report(SUMMARY_OUTPUT);

You just got zapped by one of the more idiotic features of Java.  In
Calendar, months are numbered starting at zero, so "08" represents
September.  Your original value was "September 31", which is normalized
to
October 1, and the rest becomes obvious once you know that.
