Get first and last day of month using threeten, LocalDate

Just use withDayOfMonth, and lengthOfMonth():

LocalDate initial = LocalDate.of(2014, 2, 13);
LocalDate start = initial.withDayOfMonth(1);
LocalDate end = initial.withDayOfMonth(initial.lengthOfMonth());

The API was designed to support a solution that matches closely to business requirements

import static java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters.*;

LocalDate initial = LocalDate.of(2014, 2, 13);
LocalDate start = initial.with(firstDayOfMonth());
LocalDate end = initial.with(lastDayOfMonth());

However, Jon's solutions are also fine.

YearMonth

For completeness, and more elegant in my opinion, see this use of YearMonth class.

YearMonth month = YearMonth.from(date);
LocalDate start = month.atDay(1);
LocalDate end   = month.atEndOfMonth();

For the first & last day of the current month, this becomes:

LocalDate start = YearMonth.now().atDay(1);
LocalDate end   = YearMonth.now().atEndOfMonth();
