Dates

[Wynd]

Is there any way to get the current date and/or time? For example:

var today = new Date();
hours = today.getHours();

works in JavaScript. Is there anything like this in Java?

yes, as a matter of fact, the code you have is almost right.

import java.util.Date;

Date today = new Date();
int hours = today.getHours();

That is basically all you need.

of course, put the import at the top of your program with all the other imports.
