Java Calendar Tips

It seems straightforward to use the Java Calendar class to find the exact date of floating holidays, e.g. Martin Luther King's Day (3^rd Monday in January). But I have no idea why the following almost identical code give so different results.

Attemp #1 (wrong):

Calendar MlkDay = Calendar.getInstance();
MlkDay.set(Calendar.MONTH, 0);
MlkDay.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH, 3);
MlkDay.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.MONDAY);
for(int year = 2000; year <>
MlkDay.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
System.out.println(MlkDay.getTime());
}

Attempt #2 (correct):

Calendar MlkDay = Calendar.getInstance();
MlkDay.set(Calendar.MONTH, 0);
MlkDay.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.MONDAY);
MlkDay.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH, 3);
for(int year = 2000; year <>
MlkDay.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
System.out.println(MlkDay.getTime());
}
