Converting Date to String to JFormattedTextField

Hi all.

Two questions:

1) I am trying to load String from ini file to a JFormattedTextField with date.

It is formatted as dd.MM.yy

How do I convert from String to JFormattedTextField.

2) I have a constructor that get a Date object.

I want to show the Date object in a JFormattedTextField that is formatted as follows (like in question 1) dd.MM.yy

Thanks in advance
