Java program to get current date now

In this example program we have to get the current date at present now. We have used Calendar class for getting the current date and time instance. For printing date in the specific format we have used SimpleDateFormat class of "java.text" package.

Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();
  SimpleDateFormat formatter= 
    new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MMM/dd HH:mm:ss");
  String dateNow = formatter.format(currentDate.getTime());
  System.out.println("Now the date is :=>  " + dateNow);
