From the DateFormat API:To format a date for the current Locale, use one of the static factory methods: myString = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(myDate);

SimpleDateFormat dayformat=new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");

Date jday=dayformat.parse(jtestplan_ref);

//System.out.println(jday);

System.out.println(dayformat.format(jday));
