Generating UTC Time in java

Question

I want to get the UTC time for 01/01/2100 in Java to \'2100-01-01 00:00:00\'. I am getting \"2100-01-01 00:08:00\". Any idea, how to correct this.

You need to set the time zone of the SimpleDateFormat object as well, otherwise it assumes the default time zone.

Anyway, it seems like using only a Calendar is enough in your case. Use its setters to set the right values for all fields (year, month, day, hour, etc), and then retrieve the time.
