Date format in Java

Few questions:

  1. How can I print now (The current Date/Time) in the format below.
  2. How can I convert a string date, into a date object if I know the format, same format as below.

Example: 2011-05-04 19:12:46 -0500

Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS [+|-]hh[mm]

Try:

Date yourDate = new Date(...);
SimpleDateFormat myDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z");
System.out.print(myDateFormat.format(yourDate);

The link to SimpleDateFormat Javadoc is here.
