Answer 1

A quick way is :

String dateText ="Thu, 02 Jul 2015 21:51:46";
long hours = -5; // time difference between places

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss, Locale.ENGLISH);     
LocalDateTime date = LocalDateTime.parse(dateText, formatter);        
date = date.with(date.plusHours(hours));

System.out.println("NEW DATE: "+date);

Output

NEW DATE: 2015-07-02T16:51:46
