Question

Is there any problem with java Date() class it always gives me wrong time for example if my system time is 11 it gives me 12 (it always adds one hour to current system time). How could I solve this problem? I want date to give me the same time as system time.is this related to timezone? I’ve tried:

Calendar startingTime = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getDefault());
System.out.println(startingTime.getTime());

and

System.out.println(new Date());

Thanks

This can be caused by one of two things:

• The date in the underlying operating system is incorrect (but you may accidentally have configured it so you cannot tell).
• The timezone determined by the JVM is incorrect (including that daylight savings information may be outdated).

Perhaps you could add the output of your new Date() along with information about what you were expecting and where you are?
