How to get the current Date from the system?

How do I acquire the current date from the system? Also, if possible, can I assign the day, month and year separately into three variables and how? It would be thankful if some simple Example could be given. Thanx!

import java.util.*;
public class count {
public count() {
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
int month = now.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int day = now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int dayyear = now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
int year = now.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int a = 365;
int b = a - dayyear;
System.out.println("The day is the" + " " + day);
System.out.println("IT is the" + " " + month + " " + "month of the year");
System.out.println("The year is" + " " + year);
System.out.println("This many days till next year" + " " + b);
public static void main(String[] args) {
count cou = new count();
}
