Note: this answer was written in 2009. Since then,
java.timehas become the preferred date/time API in Java.Ideally, use Joda Time instead. It’s an infinitely superior API to the built-in one. You’d then want to choose between
LocalDateTimeandDateTimedepending on your exact requirements (it’s a complicated area – I’m not going to try to summarise in a sentence or two, but the docs do a good job).If absolutely necessary, use a java.util.Calendar and convert that to a
Datewhen you need to.
