The reason is, that already a date class is provided in the ivy script environement. If you import another date class, there will be an error: "The import java.util.Date collides with Date".

We provide some utility classes from the package ch.ivyteam.ivy.scripting.objects like Date, Time, DateTime which should be more intuitive to use than the regulary java classes from the jdk like java.util.Date.

You can still use java.util.Date But you need to address the class with the fully qualified name. Like: java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();. As you can think, some APIs requires java.util.Date as parameter and therefore its needed.
