How can I display the current time as GMT?

Joe Sam Shirah Create a custom TimeZone and use it for DateFormat.setTimeZone(). This is discussed briefly in the API documentation and shown in the following code.
import java.text.*; import java.util.*; public class GMTFmt2 { public static void main( String[] args ) { TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT:00"); DateFormat dfGMT = DateFormat.getTimeInstance( DateFormat.LONG ); dfGMT.setTimeZone( tz ); System.out.println( dfGMT.format( new Date() ) ); } // end main } // End class GMTFmt2
