How to get today's Date?

Question

In other words, I want functionality that provides Joda-Time:

today = today.withTime(0, 0, 0, 0);

but without Joda-Time, only with java.util.Da

Answer 1

Date today = DateUtils.truncate(new Date(), Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

DateUtils from Apache Commons-Lang. Watch out for time zone!
