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

Answer 1

Actually not time, but it's representation could be changed.

SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss");
f.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
System.out.println(f.format(new Date()));

Time is the same in any point of the Earth, but our perception of time could be different depending on location.
