Actually, I think it's because you're mixing double quotes in your strings and within the <jsp> tag. try using single quotes or escaping the double quotes.
ie:
String newDate = "%><jsp:getProperty name=\"lineItem\" property=\"date\" /><%";
However, if you just want the actual date as a string, then do as Brian suggested.

You're mixing an xml tag with a scriplet, which is not allowed.
Try this instead:
<%
String newDate = new String();
newDate = lineItem.getDate();
%>
Or better:
<%
String newDate = lineItem.getDate();
%>
