I am guessing you mean as a string format. Well you decide that yourself because you need to transform the string date into a Date manually using the SimpleDateFormat class. Example:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");

Date date = sdf.parse("2006-06-30");

> FirstCustomer.setDateOfBirth(Date arg0); is okay.No, it won't compile.

Thanks I actually needed to know what to pass as arg0. Does SimpleDateFormat require an 'imports' statement, coz the IDE is complaining that it cannot be resolved?
