use the SimpleDateFormat class
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
to print the date. This will print the current date in predefined formatted using SimpleDateFormat
System.out.println("Current Date " + sdf.format(new Date());
String mydate = "01-08-2011";
to convert string into date
Date parseDate = sdf.parse(mydate);

Vinay is getting
Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 IST 2011 not 01-08-2011, use pattern: "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy"Please take a look at (Simple)DateFormat's parse method.

Look at the SimpleDateFormat class in the javadocs.
Constructs a SimpleDateFormat using the given pattern and the default date format symbols for the default locale
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
System.out.println("Date " + sdf.format(new Date());

I think "E M d k:m:s z y" would be the correct date format. See download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/…
