try this:

import java.util.*;


public class ConvertDateIntoMilliSecondsExample{

public static void main(String args[]){

//create a Date object  
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println("Date is : " + date);

//use getTime() method to retrieve milliseconds
System.out.println("Milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT : "
                  + date.getTime());

    }

}
