Hello I am trying to get the current date at java at a Class I created but everything fails. I've seen in many sites
e.g. http://www.mkyong.com/java/java-date-and-calendar-examples/
that the date constructor has no arguments
e.g. Date date = new Date();
Now in my project I try to use it like this and I get the error
that The constructor Date() is undefined
How is this possible? I give you the full code so far
import java.sql.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class Utility {
String title;
int ID;
Date date;
Utility(String t,int ID){
this.ID=ID+1;
title=t;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/M/yyyy");
Date a=new Date();// I get the error here
String date = sdf.format(a);
System.out.print(date);
}
}
I work at Eclipse IDE. Can you help me?

The examples you found are for java.util.Date while you are using java.sql.Date
java.sql.Date
has two constructors
Date(long date): Constructs a Date object using the given milliseconds time value.
Date(int year, int month, int day): which is deprecated
and no default Date() constructor.
java.util.Date
among others has a default constructor without arguments
Date(): Allocates a Date object and initializes it so that it represents the time at which it was allocated, measured to the nearest millisecond.
When importing classes, Eclipse will help you fining possible candidates but always check if the first suggestion is really what you want.
