If you want to get dates to and from text fields you should use a SimpleDateFormat, and it's probably better to just work with Date objects unless you need to do calculations, like adding so many days to a date. Example:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
Date date = new Date();

// Get text from field
try {
  date = GUI.sdf.parse(myDateEntryField.getText());
} catch (Exception e) {
  recoverFromDateEntryError();
}

// Put date in another field
myBigDateDisplayField.setText(sdf.format(date));

// Create a Calendar object with a date
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);

// Get a date from a Calendar and put it in a text field
myOtherTextField.setText(sdf.format(cal.getTime()));

Sun's web site can tell you how to create a format string to display a date and time the way you want it.
