Answer 1

Did you actually read the compiler's diagnostic? It says this:reference to Date is ambiguous, both class java.util.Date in java.util
and class java.sql.Date in java.sql match..There are two Data classes in two different packages; when you define
a Date object, which one do you want? You have to specify this Date
object using its fully qualified name, i.e. it has to include its full package name.
kind regards,
