Have a Java Q...

How can I get the current system time in JAva?

I have another thread in the Java forum, but for some reason this computer won't let me C&P the link... :confused:

There are a bunch of ways to format the current time in the java.util.Calendar class.

:)

Whatever you do, don't use java.util.Date, virtually everything in that class has been deprecated since about JDK 1.1.

Yep. Ta. :)

Got it sorted. I'm actually just modifying an old system for a Uni assignment, and it still uses all that old stuff - it was written 5-6 years ago. But I'm using the Calendar. :)

Hmmm... maybe I'll change the Date reference too...


If I use the Calender.getInstance() method, do I need to destroy it after I'm done, and how do I do this?

(My Java is beyond rusty, as you can see.... ;) )

You dont have to kill it.. The Java garbage collector will take care of it after awhile. Though Id recommend killing it when your done using it.

Ok, how do I kill stuff in Java, and more specifically, how do I kill this one, because it doesn't use the New keyword to instantiate, it has a .getInstance() function for that...

objectname=null;
