## Uses of Class
java.util.Date

Packages that use Date
java.security | Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework.
java.security.cert | Provides classes and interfaces for parsing and managing certificates.
java.sql | Provides the API for accessing and processing data in a data source using the JavaTM programming language.
java.text | Provides classes and interfaces for handling text, dates, numbers, and messages in a manner independent of natural languages.
java.util | Contains the collections framework, legacy collection classes, event model, date and time facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility classes (a string tokenizer, a random-number generator, and a bit array).

Uses of Date in java.security

Methods in java.security that return Date
`Date` | `KeyStore.getCreationDate(String alias)` Returns the creation date of the entry identified by the given alias.
`abstract Date` | `KeyStoreSpi.engineGetCreationDate(String alias)` Returns the creation date of the entry identified by the given alias.

Uses of Date in java.security.cert

Methods in java.security.cert that return Date
`abstract Date` | `X509Certificate.getNotBefore()` Gets the `notBefore` date from the validity period of the certificate.
`abstract Date` | `X509Certificate.getNotAfter()` Gets the `notAfter` date from the validity period of the certificate.
`abstract Date` | `X509CRLEntry.getRevocationDate()` Gets the revocation date from this X509CRLEntry, the revocationDate.
`abstract Date` | `X509CRL.getThisUpdate()` Gets the `thisUpdate` date from the CRL.
`abstract Date` | `X509CRL.getNextUpdate()` Gets the `nextUpdate` date from the CRL.

Methods in java.security.cert with parameters of type Date
`abstract void` | `X509Certificate.checkValidity(Date date)` Checks that the given date is within the certificate's validity period.

Uses of Date in java.sql

Subclasses of Date in java.sql
`class` | `Date` A thin wrapper around a millisecond value that allows JDBC to identify this as a SQL DATE.
`class` | `Time` A thin wrapper around `java.util.Date` that allows JDBC to identify this as a SQL `TIME` value.
`class` | `Timestamp` A thin wrapper around `java.util.Date` that allows the JDBC API to identify this as an SQL `TIMESTAMP` value.

Uses of Date in java.text

Methods in java.text that return Date
`Date` | `DateFormat.parse(String text)` Parse a date/time string.
`abstract Date` | `DateFormat.parse(String text, ParsePosition pos)` Parse a date/time string according to the given parse position.
`Date` | `SimpleDateFormat.get2DigitYearStart()` Returns the beginning date of the 100-year period 2-digit years are interpreted as being within.
`Date` | `SimpleDateFormat.parse(String text, ParsePosition pos)` Overrides DateFormat

Methods in java.text with parameters of type Date
`abstract StringBuffer` | `DateFormat.format(Date date, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition fieldPosition)` Formats a Date into a date/time string.
`String` | `DateFormat.format(Date date)` Formats a Date into a date/time string.
`void` | `SimpleDateFormat.set2DigitYearStart(Date startDate)` Sets the 100-year period 2-digit years will be interpreted as being in to begin on the date the user specifies.
`StringBuffer` | `SimpleDateFormat.format(Date date, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition pos)` Overrides DateFormat

Uses of Date in java.util

Methods in java.util that return Date
`Date` | `Calendar.getTime()` Gets this Calendar's current time.
`Date` | `GregorianCalendar.getGregorianChange()` Gets the Gregorian Calendar change date.

Methods in java.util with parameters of type Date
`boolean` | `Date.before(Date when)` Tests if this date is before the specified date.
`boolean` | `Date.after(Date when)` Tests if this date is after the specified date.
`int` | `Date.compareTo(Date anotherDate)` Compares two Dates for ordering.
`abstract boolean` | `TimeZone.inDaylightTime(Date date)` Queries if the given date is in daylight savings time in this time zone.
`boolean` | `SimpleTimeZone.inDaylightTime(Date date)` Overrides TimeZone Queries if the given date is in Daylight Savings Time.
`void` | `Calendar.setTime(Date date)` Sets this Calendar's current time with the given Date.
`void` | `GregorianCalendar.setGregorianChange(Date date)` Sets the GregorianCalendar change date.
`void` | `Timer.schedule(TimerTask task, Date time)` Schedules the specified task for execution at the specified time.
`void` | `Timer.schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period)` Schedules the specified task for repeated fixed-delay execution, beginning at the specified time.
`void` | `Timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period)` Schedules the specified task for repeated fixed-rate execution, beginning at the specified time.
