Convert java.util.date format into another different java.util.date format

Question

How Can I convert this java.util.Date format:

2015-01-16 00:00:00.0

to this java.util.Date format:

2015-01-16 00:00:00 GMT+00:00

Is it a simple case of output formatting you're considering? (And I guess the change of day from 16 to 01 is accidental) — Luc, Jan 14 '15 at 13:01
This is the same date! A `Date` object has no notion of a format — fge, Jan 14 '15 at 13:03

You're going to need to use java.text.SimpleDateFormat.

Something as follows:

final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z");
System.out.println(sdf.format(new Date()));

would print something like this: 2001-07-04 12:08:56 PDT.

I hope that helps.
