Java 7: Actual Date format yyyy-mm-dd

Question

On my DB i have a date column with this format: '2016-10-05'

How can i obtain the actual date on this format?

I tried with

Date date = new Date();

But the format is not compatible and it doesen't works.

Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(stringWithDate);

You have to use SimpleDataFormat which allows you to parse Strings with different formats to Date
