Is it possible to get java.util.Date object with specific format?

Question

I would like to ask about the usage of java.util.Date. Here is my sample class

         public class DateConverter {
           public static void main(Strin         


        

Answer 1

Yes, extend Date adding the format field and override toString method, something along the lines of

public class DateWithFormat extends Date {
   String format; // Assign as appropriate
   public String toString() {
     return new SimpleDateFormat(format).format(this));
   } 
}
