how to convert from UTC to CEST timezone in java [duplicate]

Answer 1

A java.time solution:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String orgDate = "2016-05-19T06:10:00";
    String dstDate = LocalDateTime.parse(orgDate, DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME)
                                  .atZone(ZoneId.of("UTC"))
                                  .withZoneSameInstant(ZoneId.of("CET"))
                                     // CET is deprecated timezone, see list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
                                  .format(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME);
                                            // or use a custom formatter

    System.out.println(orgDate);
    System.out.println(dstDate); 
}

Result:

2016-05-19T06:10:00
2016-05-19T08:10
