Hi,

You were looking along the right lines; you need a combination
of SimpleDateFormat and SimpleTimeZone to format the date for
non-local timezones. Something like this should do it...

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Test {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// initialise a calendar with the time using GMT timezone
		// November is month 10 not 11 as months go from 0 to 11 in
Java
		GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(2000, 10, 16,
19, 21, 40);
		Date date = cal.getTime();

		// set up a date formatter for the required output format
		SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd,
hh.mm.ss");

		// set up a timezone for GMT+0900
		SimpleTimeZone tz = new SimpleTimeZone(9 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
"GMT+0900");
		df.setTimeZone(tz);

		// print the date using the formatter
		System.out.println(df.format(date));
	}
}

Cheers,

Dave.
