Date/ Time formatting in Swing

[flintjk]

Hi, I'm new to NetBeans working on an employee time management app. I can generate the Date/ Time in a clickable event but it looks like toString is the only format I can get the data in. I need to visually keep track of seconds and do some math on them. Is there a way to format Date/Time to have it display on the form as seconds?



Thanks,

Check the Javadoc. Look at the various Calendar classes and the
SimpleDateFormat class.
