Hello,
You have to specify either 'java.util.Date' or 'java.sql.Date' in each
declaration and call the 'new' operator. The 'import' statement makes
UN-ambiguous class references acceptable via shorthand - it is always
correct, and sometimes required, to use the fully qualified package+class
name.
It sounds like you want the java.util.Date specifically; if so, fine.
but you should understand what is different in java.sql.Date (which is a
subclass of java.util.Date) to see if it has features that you want.
