This is how it's done:

import org.joda.time.DateMidnight;
import org.joda.time.DateTime;
import org.joda.time.Days;


public class example {

/**
 * How many days until a certain date.
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    DateMidnight someDate = new DateMidnight(2013,6,26);
    System.out.println("An example due date: "+someDate);
    DateTime timeNow = new DateTime();
    System.out.println("The time right now: "+timeNow);
    int daysToDeadLine = Days.daysBetween(timeNow, someDate).getDays();
    System.out.println("Days until deadline: "+daysToDeadLine);

}}

May I also suggest a little more effort on your behalf next time? :)

Use the org.joda.time.Days class. It provides some daysBetween methods to compute exactly what you need.

DateMidnight midnight = return_due_date; // your DateMidnight instance
DateTime now = new DateTime();

int daysBetween = Days.daysBetween(now, midnight).getDays();

int days = org.joda.time.Days.daysBetween(DateMidnight.now(), yourDueDate).getDays();
