conditional statements not working in expression editor

I want to check current month to many condition as below. so I take TextField ,edit its pattern to MM & in expression editor edit below code

new java.util.Date()>=4 && new java.util.Date() <= 7 ? "Q1" :  
new java.util.Date()>=8 && new java.util.Date() <=11  ? "Q2" : "Q3"

but it gives error 

Error filling print... Error evaluating expression :      Source text : new java.util.Date()>=4 && new java.util.Date() <= 7 ? "Q1" : new java.util.Date()>=8 && new java.util.Date() <=11  ? "Q2" : "Q3" 
Setting up the file resolver..

but when I give expression like

new java.util.Date()== 4 ? "Q1" : "Q2"

It works fine.

Does iReport not able to resolve multiple conditions ? or should I give different TextField with single condition ?

are you sure new java.util.Date() is just give you the month.

try this it will give you the moth
(new SimpleDateFormat("M")).format(new java.util.Date())

also you can use yyyy(year) or d(date) to check and Integer.parse(...month...) or Date.parse(...month...) maybe needed, if you don't have your Qs as integer or date.

can you please try putting the expression in brackets like

(new java.util.Date()>=4 && new java.util.Date() <= 7 )? "Q1" : ( (new java.util.Date()>=8 && new java.util.Date() <=11 ) ? "Q2" : "Q3")

You can use multiple condition like this

new java.util.Date() >= 4  ?
 "Q1" :
new java.util.Date() <= 7  ?
 "Q2" :  
new java.util.Date() >= 8  ?
 "Q3" :
 "Q4"

Try using calendar instead. 

(Calendar.getInstance()).get(Calendar.MONTH)>=3 && (Calendar.getInstance()).get(Calendar.MONTH)>=6 ? "Q1" :
(Calendar.getInstance()).get(Calendar.MONTH)>=7 && (Calendar.getInstance()).get(Calendar.MONTH)>=10  ? "Q2" : "Q3"
