You'll want to look into the java.util package.Look into the Formatter classes, and look into the Date class, possibly.- Adam

Check out SimpleDateFormat: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Sorry, I've looked into java.util & java.text.SimpleDateFormat package but I'm still confused.How do I use these packages to grab Current System Date/Time?

When you create a new instance of java.util.Date, it automatically has the current system time.

if you're formatting requirement isn't strict and you don't want to play with the simpledateformatter - just create a new instance of Date and use its toString method - the toString method is overridden to provide a formatted date string (can't remember off the top of my head what the specific format is though).

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

import java.util.Calendar;

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();

sdf.applyPattern("EEEEEE MMM d HH:mm:ss z yyyy");

System.out.println(sdf.format(cal.getTime()));
