Solution

  • Start by getting the actual date from the JDateChooser...

    Date date = fechaText.getDate();

    Then you could use DateFormat or a SimpleDateFormat to format as a String

    Just remember, unless you need to display the date for some reason, you really shouldn't convert it to a String, but instead leave it as a Date object
