Thread: UTC Dates

Hello.

I already search by this topic in the forum searh engine , and i have found a lot of issues related with this topic but none of these have clarified me.
I read that when you create a Date object like this away Date d = new Date(); , that will contain the date in UTC(number of miliseconds since 01/01/1970), but when i simple
do System.out.println(d) this will print the date in my local machine timezone.
How can I hava a Date object with the UTC time ?

Thanks

Thank you Pedro for searching the forums before asking, we greatly appreciate this.

You can you d.getTime() to get the number of milliseconds

I hope that helps.

Chris, do you really believe that someone who posted the identical same matter, typos and all, on [at least] three forums did really "search by this topic in the forum searh engine"? Especially seeing as how the question was adequately answered on the other two forums well before you posted your response but the OP didn't deign to inform us of that here.

Incidentally the forum search on the Sun/Oracle forums has been broken for quite some time and doesn't return meaningful results. Those of us who post there regularly use Google with the site: qualifier to find old posts we remember and would like to link to in a current thread.
