Im guessing this is the method you want:

  public static Date toDate(String str){
        try{
            String[] a = str.split("/");
            int y = Integer.parseInt(a[2]);
            int d = Integer.parseInt(a[1]);
            int m = Integer.parseInt(a[0]);
            return new Date(y,m,d);
        } catch(Exception evt){
            return null;
        }

    }

So im guessing this method is supposed to create a new Date() object through the method right?

Try using System.load(".dll name");

like this:

    static
    {
         System.loadLibrary("somedll");
    }

Its like a main menu in a movie.
ex.

Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Would you like to \n 1.Eat\n 2.Poop\n 3.or sleep"); // This is the menu-driven part
String input = s.nextLine();

switch(input) //you can only switch strings in JDK7
{
    //code goes here
}

Does this mean we can access the user32.dll file?

Have you heard of the [AtomicInteger](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/atomic/AtomicInteger.html) class. It would probably help you here.
