There's a (slightly more complicated) example on the xalan-j extensions
page, but the basic thing is:
<xsl:variable name="fmt"
select="java:java.text.SimpleDateFormat.new('yyyy-MM-dd')"/>
<xsl:variable name="now" select="java:java.util.Date.new()"/>
Report generation time was <xsl:value-of select="java:format($fmt,$now)"/>.
