Does java have a standard way of handling GPS Time? What I'm looking for is a standard way of converting between GPST and UTC without needing to track leapseconds myself. It would be nice if this were tracked in a separate library that I could update to every iteration to keep up to date.

Please define what you mean by GPS time exactly. – Basil Bourque Oct 28 '16 at 20:26

According to the answer here:
No, Java and the unix Epoch ignore leap seconds. They both assume each day has 86,400 seconds.
That same link also has a post from someone that claims to have a Java library (Time4J) that supports leap seconds. Might be worth checking out.
