How to implement the date into a plugin!

Hello Everybody! Mortal_Wombat here (again ). With a new question I want to make a "news" plugin. That would display whats going on around the server etc. but its not that i need help with it's adding a date function.

Example

------[Server News]------

Day: 7/23/2014 <--- How would i do this.

News:

Blah blah blah



And to be specific for the help. Getting the date of the console would work. But i saw a plugin that used timeanddate.com (from memory don't quote me on the URL lol). So just helping me out on how to do this would be great!

Thank you Very much in advance!

http://www.mkyong.com/java/java-how-to-get-current-date-time-date-and-calender/ this should work.

 

You can also try this:

Code:java

Date d = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
String date = d.getMonth() + "/" + d.getDay() + "/" + d.getYear();
this.logger.info("The date is " + date)

 

WOW thank you so much! I copied and pasted it! Imported a few things. And changed System.out.println to

p.sendMessage and BAM! Thank you so so so much!!!!
