Answer 1

I have try this code

try{
            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss Z");
            Date datetime = new Date();

            System.out.println("date "+sdf.format(datetime));

            sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));

            System.out.println("GMT "+ sdf.format(datetime));

            sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+13"));

            System.out.println("GMT+13 "+ sdf.format(datetime));

            sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

            System.out.println("utc "+sdf.format(datetime));

            Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));

            DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z");    
            formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+13"));  

            String newZealandTime = formatter.format(calendar.getTime());

            System.out.println("using calendar "+newZealandTime);

        }catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

and getting this result

date 06-10-2011 10:40:05 +0530
GMT 06-10-2011 05:10:05 +0000 // here getting 5:10:05
GMT+13 06-10-2011 06:10:05 +1300 // here getting 6:10:05
utc 06-10-2011 05:10:05 +0000
using calendar 06 Oct 2011 18:10:05 GMT+13:00
