setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
}
}

Answer 1

JDateChooser dateChooser = new JDateChooser();
dateChooser.setBounds(20, 20, 200, 30); // Modify depending on your preference
jFrame.getContentPane().add(dateChooser);

To get the date, you can do-

Date date = dateChooser.getDate();

Edit: Based from comment-

com.toedter.calendar.JDateChooser dateChooser = new com.toedter.calendar.JDateChooser();
dateChooser.setDateFormatString("MM/dd/yyyy");

Date date =  dateChooser.getDate();
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
someJLabel.setText(dateFormat.format(date));
