Question

What is the best way to convert a java.util.Date object to the new JDK 8/JSR-310 java.time.LocalDate?

Date input = new Date();

Answer 1

Date input = new Date();
LocalDateTime  conv=LocalDateTime.ofInstant(input.toInstant(), ZoneId.systemDefault());
LocalDate convDate=conv.toLocalDate();

The Date instance does contain time too along with the date while LocalDate doesn't. So you can firstly convert it into LocalDateTime using its method ofInstant() then if you want it without time then convert the instance into LocalDate.
