Get "Timestamp" (Millis) from a specific date

[zoomby]

Hi!

I want to get the milliseconds since the unix epoche from a specific date. The example above should work, but the method getTimeInMillis() can't be found.
What's wrong with it?
Is there another way to get the millis?

GregorianCalendar start=new GregorianCalendar(2002,8,30);
long Millis = start.getTimeInMillis();

Bye

Date d = new Date();
long nowInMillis = d.getTime();

Thanks!

But how do I get the Millis of a specific date,
like 2002-2-20?
