java用Calendar计算年龄的问题

在网上找到了一个计算年龄的java程序代码，但是计算出来的年龄竟然会出现负数，跟踪后发现cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)获取到的月份是从0开始的，代码如下：

public static int getAge(Date birthDay) throws Exception {
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

        if (cal.before(birthDay)) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                "出生时间大于当前时间!");
        }

        int yearNow = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        int monthNow = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;//注意此处，如果不加1的话计算结果是错误的
        int dayOfMonthNow = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
        cal.setTime(birthDay);

        int yearBirth = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        int monthBirth = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
        int dayOfMonthBirth = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

        int age = yearNow - yearBirth;

        if (monthNow <= monthBirth) {
            if (monthNow == monthBirth) {
                //monthNow==monthBirth
                if (dayOfMonthNow < dayOfMonthBirth) {
                    age--;
                } else {
                    //do nothing
                }
            } else {
                //monthNow>monthBirth
                age--;
            }
        } else {
            //monthNow<monthBirth
            //donothing
        }

        return age;
    }
