Michael,

It's actully as straightforward as this :-

        // Rather than creating an object GregorianCalendar which
        // won't be used afterwards, call Calendar's static method
        // Calendar.getInstance()

        Date date = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();

To check that you've got the right date, the easiest way is to print
the newly created date to your console :-

        System.out.println(date.toString());

I hope this helps.
