public static String getFromatDateTime(Date date) {
    SimpleDateFormat sdfDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S");
    final GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();
    gc.setTime( date );
    //gc.set( Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0 );
    //gc.set( Calendar.MINUTE, 0 );
    //gc.set( Calendar.SECOND, 0 );
    //block ignore millisecond 
    gc.set( Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0 );
    String strDate = sdfDate.format(gc.getTime());
    return strDate;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
    SimpleDateFormat sdfDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S");
    Date now = new  Date();
    String currentDate = Testing.getFromatDateTime(now);
    String fullDate = "2015-12-07 14:53:39.30";
    String effDateStr = Testing.getFromatDateTime(sdfDate.parse(fullDate));

    System.out.println("Currennt Date: " + currentDate);
    System.out.println("Effective Date: " + effDateStr);
    System.out.println(currentDate.compareTo(effDateStr)==0);
}
