Examples of this are all over the web. Here's an example I shamelessly plucked from here. You'll have to modify a bit to fit your formatting, but the conversion is there.

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
TimeZone fromTimeZone = calendar.getTimeZone();
TimeZone toTimeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("CST");

calendar.setTimeZone(fromTimeZone);
calendar.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND, fromTimeZone.getRawOffset() * -1);
if (fromTimeZone.inDaylightTime(calendar.getTime())) {
    calendar.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND, calendar.getTimeZone().getDSTSavings() * -1);
    }

    calendar.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND, toTimeZone.getRawOffset());
    if (toTimeZone.inDaylightTime(calendar.getTime())) {
        calendar.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND, toTimeZone.getDSTSavings());
    }

    System.out.println(calendar.getTime());`
