How do I represent java.util.Date in my .proto definition? Is this supported, or any other workaround for doing this?

I use a dateFormatter to send it as a string. I suppose its also
possible to send it as a int64 if you want. Just be wary of
timezones.

A java.util.Date doesn't contain a timezone anyway - it's always UTC.
I've previous suggested (but made no progress on) a set of "common"
protocol buffer messages which could be used for various products,
with helper libraries for popular platforms providing conversions
between the messages and more idiomatic types (e.g. Date on Java,
DateTime/DateTimeOffset on .NET).
