val cal = Calendar.getInstance
cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 8)
println(new SimpleDateFormat(formatString) format cal.getTime)
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
val formatString = "d, D, MMMM, EEEE"
val cal = Calendar.getInstance
cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 8)
println(new SimpleDateFormat(formatString) format cal.getTime)

val locales = List(ENGLISH, FRENCH, ITALIAN, GERMAN, new Locale("nl"))
println(locales.map{getDateInstance(FULL, _).format(date)}.mkString("\n"))
