I wish to store title and pubDate for each headline news item on a RSS feed
in a Derby database

Would appreciate some pointers as to how to achieve this

The critical bit of code that you need to write probably
looks something like this:

        PreparedStatement insRSS = con.prepareStatement(
                "insert into rssfeed (title, pubdate) values( ?,? )" );

        insRSS.setString( 1, title );
        insRSS.setDate( 2, pubdate );

        insRSS.executeUpdate();

        con.commit();

There's more to it than this, but this is a start that should get
you closer to building a prototype, at which point you can see
how well it works and where you want to improve it.

You'll find lots of details to consider here:
