I can't get this to compile. How do I get a date into the label?

public class TodayIs extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
    Container con = getContentPane();
    FlowLayout f = new FlowLayout();
    JButton button1 = new JButton();
    JLabel todayIs = new JLabel("Today is ");
    JLabel dateTime = new JLabel(dateAndTime);
    /** Description of the Method */
    public void init() {
        con.setLayout(f);
        con.add(button1);
        button1.addActionListener(this);
        button1.requestFocus();
    }
    /**
     * Description of the Method

     *@param e  Description of the Parameter
     */
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        con.add(dateTime);
        validate();
    }
}

(Before I had Date dateAndTime = new Date(); just above JLabel dateTime)

Howdy.
Date dateAndTime = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
JLabel dateTime = new JLabel(dateAndTime.toString());
