To convert Date to StringFormat 

    import com.google.gwt.i18n.shared.DateTimeFormat;
    import java.util.Date;

    ...
    public String getStringFormat(Date inputDate){
    String strFormat = null;
    try{
    DateTimeFormat dateTimeFormat = DateTimeFormat.getFormat("DD-MMM-YYYY");
    strFormat = dateTimeFormat.format(inputDate);

With the methods on the java.util.Date class itself: parse(String s) and toString(). Although the first is deprecated it is the method to use with GWT. If you want more control over how the Date is formatted, when converting to String use the GWT specific class: com.google.gwt.i18n.client.DateTimeFormat. It will format the date given a pattern, similar to Java's own SimpleDateFormat.
