import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

public class JavaCurrentDateTimeCalendar {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Date now = Calendar.getInstance().getTime(); 
        
        DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-d HH:mm:ss");
        
        System.out.println(df.format(now));
    }
}
