Get the first day of the Month in Java

package com.ramesh.java8.datetime;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters;

/**

 * @author javaguides.net
 *
 */

public final class Java8DateUtility {

    /**
     * Get first day of the Month.
     * @return LocalDate
    */
    public static LocalDate getFirstDayOfMonth() {
        LocalDate firstDayOfMonth = LocalDate.now().with(TemporalAdjusters.firstDayOfMonth());
        return firstDayOfMonth;
    } 
}

JUnit test case

package com.ramesh.java8.datetime;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertNotNull;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import org.junit.Test;

/**
 * JUnit test cases for Java8DateUtiliy Methods
 * @author javaguides.net
 *
 */
public class Java8DateUtilityTest {

    @Test
    public void getFirstDayOfMonthTest() {
        System.out.println("Get First day of Month :: " + Java8DateUtility.getFirstDayOfMonth());
    }
}

Run the JUnit test cases will print the output:
