Make the java object.sql.Date have the format dd / MM / yyyy [duplicate]

I have a field that is of type String, where a data is typed in the format dd/MM/yyyy, I am converting to java.sql.Date, the result is: 2018-01-01.

What I needed was to get the date in format: dd/MM/yyyy, which would be :01/01/2018, but it needs to be in format data, not String, is it possible?

The method I use is this( I actually simplified it to make it easier for anyone who can help by running the code):

  public class NewClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
        String dataInicialString = "01/01/2018";
        String dataFinalString = "14/05/2018";
        DateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
        java.sql.Date dataInicial = null;
        java.sql.Date dataFinal = null;

        dataInicial = new java.sql.Date(fmt.parse(dataInicialString).getTime());

        dataFinal = new java.sql.Date(fmt.parse(dataFinalString).getTime());

        System.out.println("DATAINICIAL:" + dataInicial);
        System.out.println("DATAFINAL:" + dataFinal);

    }
}
