Getting Java Date in another Timezone

Getting the date in another timezone is not quite as evident. But I did whip up a method to return the Date object if you provide your local Date and the timeZone id of where you want to find out what time it is there.

import java.util.*;

public class Timezone {

public static Date getDateInTimeZone(Date currentDate, String timeZoneId)
{
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone(timeZoneId);
Calendar mbCal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timeZoneId));
mbCal.setTimeInMillis(currentDate.getTime());

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, mbCal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, mbCal.get(Calendar.MONTH));
cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, mbCal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, mbCal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, mbCal.get(Calendar.MINUTE));
cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, mbCal.get(Calendar.SECOND));
cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, mbCal.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND));

return cal.getTime();
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Date now = new Date();

System.out.println("Current Time="+now);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current Timezone="+cal.getTimeZone().getDisplayName());

//Canada/Central
String timeZoneId = "Canada/Central";
System.out.println("Getting Time in the timezone="+timeZoneId);
System.out.println("Current Time there="+getDateInTimeZone(now,timeZoneId));
}

}
