New to java, need to know how to incorparate system time into a block of code.

Hello, below is a simple block of code. I have been trying to add a println of the
system time. I tried many examples but most start with import java.util.Calendar;
This gets an error in eclipse stating this is never used. I tried many examples and
get the same error with different import calls. Can someone add to my code
example the minimum code to print out the time?


Code

Code Java:

---

package com.allmycode.first;
 
public class GoodbyeMoon {
 
	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		String var1 = "GoodbyeMoon";
		int var2 = 10;
		System.out.println(var1+" "+ var2);
		String var3 = "Done";
		System.out.println(var3);
 
 
	}
 
}

That's not an error, it's just a warning. It's telling you that you have an import that you don't use. I don't see anything in your code that attempts to print out the time. Check out the System API for some useful functions: System (Java Platform SE 6)

What format do you want to time printed in?
There are several different classes or methods that could be used.

I would like to see the time as hour min example 2:20

Thanks

Look at the DateFormat class.

Norm, thank you; I found a way to do it see below, not prity but it worked. The trick was the import string I tried did not work.

package com.allmycode.first;
import java.util.Date;

public class GoodbyeMoon {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String var1 = "GoodbyeMoon";
int var2 = 10;
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println("Today is " + date);
System.out.println(var1+" "+ var2);
String var3 = "Done";
System.out.println(var3);


}

}
