Answer 1

Make your life easy when working with dates, timestamps and durations. Use HalDateTime from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/haldatetime/?source=directory

For example you can just use it to parse your input like this:

HalDateTime mydate = HalDateTime.valueOf( "25.12.1988" );
System.out.println( mydate );   // will print in ISO format: 1988-12-25

You can also specify patterns for parsing and printing.
