Java

cannot find symbol "date"

package com.teamtreehouse;

import java.util.Date;

  public class Treet {
    private String mAuthor;
    private String mDescription;
    private Date mCreationDate;

  public Treet(String author, String description, Date creationDate) {
    mAuthor = author;
    mDescription = description;
    mCreationDate = creationDate;
  }
    public String getAuthor() {
     return mAuthor; 
    }

    public String getDescription() {
      return mDescription;
    }  
    public Date getDate() {
      return mCreationDate;
    }

  }
import com.teamtreehouse.Treet;

public class Example {
 public static void main(String [] args) {
   Treet treet = new Treet(
     "craigsdennis",
     "Want to be famous?  Simply tweet about Java and use the hashtag #treet.  I'll use your tweet in a new @treehouse course about data structures.",
   new Date(14218497320000L)
   );
   System.out.printf("This is a new Treet:  %s, %n", treet);

 }
}

I don't see where you have the word "date" with a lowercase 'd'?

probably need to import date in second class. so add:

import java.util.Date;

to the top. I'm assuming the lower case d is a transcription error.
