For your requirement you can refer SimpleDateFormat from java api.

[Minni Sharma]

1) DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date today = df.parse("20/12/2005");
System.out.println("Today = " + df.format(today));

2) today.getday
today.getHour ....etc

pdayakar, You are welcome.

Please read what it says on the contents page for "beginning Java"

We're all here to learn, so when responding to others, please focus on helping them discover their own solutions, instead of simply providing answers.

Minni Sharma, please avoid giving straight answers to somebody like that. By so doing, you are depriving them of an opportunity to learn.

Campbell is right. Let's try and cultivate a culture of learning.

For example, if pdayakar simply copies Minni's code, and finds that the following is not throwing any exceptions, he'll be puzzled:

		DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); 
		Date weirdDateWith32Jan = df.parse("32/01/2005");     // Invalid date - should throw ParseException
		System.out.println("Weird Date = " + df.format(weirdDateWith32Jan)); 

@pdayakar A quick glance to JavaDoc for SimpleDateFormat is definitely recommended.
