How can I get the current date and time in UTC or GMT in Java?

Answer 1

public class CurrentUtcDate 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Date date = new Date();
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
        dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
        System.out.println("UTC Time is: " + dateFormat.format(date));
    }
}

Output:

UTC Time is: 22-01-2018 13:14:35

You can change the date format as needed.
