In Java, you can use the java.util.Date and java.util.Calendar classes to retrieve the current date.

Utilize the java.util.Date class:

import java.util.Date;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Date currentDate = new Date();
        System.out.println(currentDate);
    }
}

Utilize the java.util.Calendar class:

import java.util.Calendar;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        System.out.println(calendar.getTime());
    }
}

Both methods will print the current date and time.
