Adding/Subtracting 5 seconds from Java Date - Showing deprected warning

Question

I want to add 5 seconds to current time

    Date date = new Date();

    date.setSeconds(date.getSeconds()+ 5);
    System.out.println(\"old Value is: \"+date);         


        

Answer 1

An easy way is to use apache DateUtils.

import org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils;

DateUtils.addSeconds(now, 5); // Add 5 seconds.
DateUtils.addSeconds(now, -5); // Subtracting 5 seconds

You can also add/subtract minutes, hours, and so on...
