How to get dates in month and days

Sorry, I tried referred the methods from Similar Method. But i still cannot get solution. How can i get the output months and days between two difference dates? Any helps would be appreciated.Thanks.

P/s : JodaTime not applicable.

What i've tried so far.

SimpleDateFormat formatter= new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
String start       = "03-01-2015";   
String end         = "01-11-2014";

Date startdate = formatter.parse(start);
Date enddate   = formatter.parse(end);
Calendar startCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
startCalendar.setTime(startdate);
Calendar endCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
endCalendar.setTime(enddate);

int diffYear = endCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR) - startCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int diffMonth = diffYear * 12 + endCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) -startCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);

Hope this is what you want.

int diffDay= endCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) -startCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

System.err.println("diffMonth==="+diffMonth +" Month(s) and " + diffDay + " Day(s)");

In java8 you can do it like this:

LocalDate startDate = LocalDate.of(2004, Month.JANUARY, 1);
LocalDate endDate = LocalDate.of(2005, Month.JANUARY, 1);

long monthsInYear2 = ChronoUnit.MONTHS.between(startDate, endDate);
