Answer 1

First, you need to get the date from the component, something like...

Date date = jDateChooser1.getDate();

Next you need to format that Date value to a String

String strDate = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(date);

Finally, you need to set that value as the text for the lable...

jLabel1.setText(strDate);

If you have particular formatting requirements, you may need to look at SimpleDateFormat
