Hi,
If Windows is configured so that it is in the correct timezone then
you can use the following code which should give you the correct string
Date now = new Date(); // initialise to current UTC Date/Time
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat( "EEEE yyyy/MM/dd
hh:mm:ss aa zz : zzzzzz" );
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault()); // local time
String dateString = sdf.format(now);
