Java equivalent of .NET DateTime.MinValue, DateTime.Today

Question

Is there a Java equivalent of DateTime.MinValue and DateTime.Today in the Java Date class? Or a way of achieving something similar?

I\'ve realised how spoilt you are

Answer 1

to get the current date:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");

    try {

        System.out.println("Today: " + dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime()));

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
