This is a example of how you can format date and time using the SimpleDateFormat class.

Code:

//import SimpleDateFormat class and date class

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

import java.util.Date;

public class SimpleParse {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //initialize date to the current date and time

        Date today = new Date();

        //initialize SimpleDateFormat with a date format

        SimpleDateFormat sf = new SimpleDateFormat("d MMM y");

        //print out date

        System.out.println("Todays Date is: " + sf.format(today));

        //apply a new pattern for the time

        sf.applyPattern("h:mm a");

        //display formated time

        System.out.println("The Current time is: " + sf.format(today));

    }

}

Very good code, date and time formatting is good to write, i mean algorithmic !
But using libs is okay !
