Java code to print or display current system date and time. This program prints current date and time. We are using GregorianCalendar class in our program. Java code to print date and time is given below :-

This java program

import java.util.*;
 
class GetCurrentDateAndTime
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
      int day, month, year;
      int second, minute, hour;
      GregorianCalendar date = new GregorianCalendar();
 
      day = date.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
      month = date.get(Calendar.MONTH);
      year = date.get(Calendar.YEAR);
 
      second = date.get(Calendar.SECOND);
      minute = date.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
      hour = date.get(Calendar.HOUR);
 
      System.out.println("Current date is  "+day+"/"+(month+1)+"/"+year);
      System.out.println("Current time is  "+hour+" : "+minute+" : "+second);
   }
}

Output

Don’t use Date and Time class of java.util package as their methods are deprecated means they may not be supported in future versions of JDK. As an alternative of GregorianCalendar class you can use Calendar class.
