Absolutely not.

hi,

I hope this class will give u a basic date getting and the next class allows u to format with SimpleDateFormat Class.

import java.util.*;

public class Now {

public static void main(String arg[]) {

/*

** on some JDK, the default TimeZone is wrong

** we must set the TimeZone manually!!!

**Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("EST"));

*/

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getDefault());

String DATE_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";

java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf =

new java.text.SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);

/*

** on some JDK, the default TimeZone is wrong

** we must set the TimeZone manually!!!

**sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("EST"));

*/

sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());

System.out.println("Now : " + sdf.format(cal.getTime()));

}

}

Here some formatting possibilities available through the SimpleDateFormat class.

import java.util.*;

import java.text.*;

public class ShowToday {

public static void main(String args[]) {

ShowToday st = new ShowToday();

st.demo();

}

public void demo() {

System.out.println(easyDateFormat("dd MMMMM yyyy"));

System.out.println(easyDateFormat("yyyyMMdd"));

System.out.println(easyDateFormat("dd.MM.yy"));

System.out.println(easyDateFormat("MM/dd/yy"));

System.out.println(easyDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' hh:mm:ss z"));

System.out.println(easyDateFormat("EEE, MMM d, ''yy"));

System.out.println(easyDateFormat("h:mm a"));

System.out.println(easyDateFormat("H:mm:ss:SSS"));

System.out.println(easyDateFormat("K:mm a,z"));

System.out.println(easyDateFormat("yyyy.MMMMM.dd GGG hh:mm aaa"));

}

public String easyDateFormat (String format) {

Date today = new Date();

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(format);

String datenewformat = formatter.format(today);

return datenewformat;

}

}

About Application path :

Where did you save your file. Go to that location then look at your address bar, that's where your application path.

Anyway, that's manual way.

this class let's you to get application path using a java code.

//write a class... with import and the rest..

//add this in the body as the method. m sure it will help

System.getProperties("user.dir");

null
