Answer 1

 DateFormat dateFormat1=new SimpleDateFormat("M/dd/yyyy"); System.out.println(dateFormat1.format(new Date())); 

Output:

06/06/2011

Note: This may be unsuccessful for a month longer than October.

Answer 2

You cannot do this using String.format(...) . See the documentation, there is no such converter as a month without leading zeros. You can either use DateFormat , or do it somehow manually (separate the leading zero from the month, if any).
