Due to better readability it is recommended to use following equivalent approach instead of this method::

  import static net.time4j.Weekday.SATURDAY;
  import static net.time4j.Month.JANUARY;

  PlainDate date = PlainDate.of(2014, JANUARY, 25);
  System.out.println(SATURDAY.test(date)); // direct use
  System.out.println(date.matches(SATURDAY)); // recommended callback
 

Parameters:

context - context as base of testing this condition

Returns:

true if given time context matches this condition else false
