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?

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

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);
}
}
