A timestamp Attribute, if you look at the API e.g. IWorkItem.setDueDate() id of type java.sql.Timestamp.
You can use the PDE to look at that type, you can search in search engines how it is used. It boils down to

			Timestamp ts=new Timestamp(new Date().getTime());
			target.setDueDate(ts);

where Date is java.util.Date. There are a few constructors not deprecated, that you can use.

Thanks for your advice.
I search for the SDK. I used the following code. It's ok.

//set now to date
        long now= System.currentTimeMillis();
       IAttribute targetdate= workItemCommon.findAttribute(newState.getProjectArea(), "updatedate", monitor);
      newState.setValue(targetdate, new Timestamp(now));

By the way, what is the PDE? Could you kindly tell me?How to use it?

PDE is the Eclipse Plugin Development Environment. How to use it with the SDK is described here:
