Java program to print date and time

Java date and time program: Java code to print or display current system date and time. We are using the GregorianCalendar class in our program. Don't use Date and Time classes of java.util package as their methods are deprecated, i.e., they may not work in the future versions of JDK. As an alternative to the GregorianCalendar class, you can use the Calendar class.
