Java Need help writing simple script

I'm trying to write a simple unix script that will delete files after 30 days of being created. I've never done this before but conceptually it sounds easy. Here is what I'm trying to do:

Get System Date
Get File Date
If (sysdate-filedate>30days)
rm file

All of these files are contained within a single directory and they could have different file names.

thanks!!!
