If you import another date class, there will be an error: "The import java.util.Date collides with Date".</p> <p>We provide some utility classes from the package <code>ch.ivyteam.ivy.scripting.objects</code> like <code>Date</code>, <code>Time</code>, <code>DateTime</code> which should be more intuitive to use than the regulary java classes from the jdk like <code>java.util.Date</code>.</p> <p>You can still use <code>java.util.Date</code> But you need to address the class with the fully qualified name. Like: <code>java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();</code>. As you can think, some APIs requires <code>java.util.Date</code> as parameter and therefore its needed.</p>Alex SuterMon, 13 Mar 2017 08:24:55 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2489/i-can-t-import-java-util-date-in-script-step-why/2490
