How to convert Joda time LocalTime to java.util.Date?

Question

I want to convert Joda LocalTime to java.util.Date and not LocalDate. If this helps, I already have a LocalTime object with me. Obviously, there is no "date" part in LocalTime. So I cannot convert LocalTime to Date directly. Is there a simple way to do this ?

Steps -

LocalTime loct 
LocalDate locd = Todays date + loct
Date da = locd.toDate();

Answer 1

Date da = loct.toDateTimeToday().toDate();  

Answer 2

Have you tried

locd.withFields(loct).toDate();

Answer 3

You can also use this--

Date dtUtil = DateTime.now(DateTimeZone.getDefault()).toDate();

the generic way is -

Date dtUtil = DateTime.now(DateTimeZone.forID("TimeZoneString")).toDate();

where "TimeZoneString"is timeZone id for which you want to get the time.

DateTimeZone.getDefault() will return the local zone of the system.
