When do you think that code should be executed? Why do you think so? (hint: why is your `main` method empty?) — Sotirios Delimanolis, Apr 02 '15 at 16:03

Put your code in main method or create a new method with all the statement that was want to execute:

public static void main(String args[]) {
   //date...
   //print
}

Or

private static void printDate() {
   //date stuff goes here.....
}

public static void main(String args[]) {
   printDate();
}

Main is the entry point from where the execution will begin. You would need to accumulate all the statements under a method or into main method to execute it.

You need to have System.out.println() within a method. Try entering it inside a method.
