Be sure to include the import import java.util.Date; at the top of your file. You have to include this date object into your project because this form of the date class is what SimpleDateFormat expects. Once you do this you will get your program working just fine.

Edit: Also you want to change your class name from "Date" since there is already a Date class. Just so you don't run into potential problems later.

Enjoy!
