How to compare a given date with System date?

Question

The date input for me is of type String and it is in the format
String s = "1900-00-00 00:00:00.000";
I need a helper method that will take the above string as input and it should return Boolean value depending on the following condition.
Date should be less than or equal to current date and greater than the date prior to the date 50 years of current date.
Thanks in advance...

I got it.
String date = "3000-03-19 12:34:56.000";
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar c2 = Calendar.getInstance();
Date d = new Date();
Date d1 = new Date();
Date d2 = new Date();
c1.set(Integer.parseInt(date.substring(0,4)),Integer.parseInt(date.substring(5,7)),Integer.parseInt(date.substring(8,10)),Integer.parseInt(date.substring(11,13)),Integer.parseInt(date.substring(14,16)),Integer.parseInt(date.substring(17,19)));
c2.set(1,c.get(1)-125);
d = c.getTime();
d1 = c1.getTime();
d2 = c2.getTime();
System.out.println(d1.compareTo(d));
System.out.println(d2.compareTo(d1));
System.out.println(".....");
System.out.println(d1.compareTo(d));
System.out.println(d1.compareTo(d2));
if(d1.compareTo(d)<=0 && d2.compareTo(d1)<=0)
System.out.println("Success");
}
