Hey Travis,
Try the following...
// Establish a Date object for the current system date
java.util.Date currentDate = new java.util.Date();
// Set up a SimpleDateFormat object
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
// Format the current date by the SimpleDateFormat object parameter
String dateString = sdf.format(currentDate);
Additional info can be found at the following links...
