Insert a Date parameter in the constructor of a class object

I have to create a Cinema project in Java using BlueJ. I have a Class named Movie and a Class named Show. In the Show constructor I want to insert some parameters and I want one to be the date and time of the show using "Date". It should be something like this: 

public Show(int ID, Movie movie, Date date, int seats)

But I am not able to insert the date. Is there a way to enter it or is it impossible to do it this way?

Thank you for any help.

The main issue that you need to use java.util.Date as your object.
There is another Date object which is used for SQL.

So just add import java.util.Date; in each file you want to use this certain object.

That should be possible if you structure your class like this:

public class Show {
    private int id;
    private Movie movie;
    private Date date;
    private int seats;

    public Show(int ID, Movie movie, Date date, int seats) {
        this.id = ID;
        this.movie = movie;
        this.date = date;
        this.seats = seats;
    }
}

Then you should be able to call this constructor:

Show show = new Show(5, new Movie(), new java.util.Date(System.currentTimeMillis()), 24);

If you want to specify a specific date, you should use the SimpleDateFormat class.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
java.util.Date yourDate = sdf.parse("1992-07-26");
