我的建议:

    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(1999,10,01);   // nov 1st, 1999
    cal.set(Calendar.AM_PM,Calendar.AM);
    cal.set(Calendar.HOUR,0);
    cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE,0);
    cal.set(Calendar.SECOND,0);
    cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND,0);

    // date column in the Thought table is of type sql date
    Thought thought = thoughtDao.getThought(date, language);

    Assert.assertEquals(cal.getTime(), thought.getDate());

在Java 8中，你可以使用与Joda Time非常相似的LocalDate。

如果你正在寻找一个简单的解决方案，但你不想从你的项目中更改已弃用的java.util.Date类，你可以将这个方法添加到你的项目中，并继续你的探索:

使用java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit

`

public boolean isSameDay(Date first, Date second) {
    long difference_In_Time = first.getTime() - second.getTime();
        // calculate difference in days
        long difference_In_Days = 
        TimeUnit
              .MILLISECONDS
              .toDays(difference_In_Time);
        if (difference_In_Days == 0) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

`

像这样实现它:

`

Date first = ...;
Date second = ...;
if (isSameDay(first, second)) {
    // congratulations, they are the same
}
else {
   // heads up champ, they are not the same
}

`

    Date today = new Date();
    Date endDate = new Date();//this
    endDate.setTime(endDate.getTime() - ((endDate.getHours()*60*60*1000) + (endDate.getMinutes()*60*1000) + (endDate.getSeconds()*1000)));
    today.setTime(today.getTime() - ((today.getHours()*60*60*1000) + (today.getMinutes()*60*1000) + (today.getSeconds()*1000)));

    System.out.println(endDate.compareTo(today) <= 0);

我只是将小时/分/秒设置为0，所以时间没有问题，因为现在两个日期的时间都是相同的。现在只需使用compareTo。这个方法帮助找到“if dueDate is today”，其中true表示Yes。

我也更喜欢Joda Time，但这里有一个替代方案:

long oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000
long d1 = first.getTime() / oneDay
long d2 = second.getTime() / oneDay
d1 == d2

EDIT

我把UTC的东西放在下面，以防你需要比较UTC以外的特定时区的日期。如果你确实有这样的需求，那么我真的建议你去找Joda。

long oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000
long hoursFromUTC = -4 * 60 * 60 * 1000 // EST with Daylight Time Savings
long d1 = (first.getTime() + hoursFromUTC) / oneDay
long d2 = (second.getTime() + hoursFromUTC) / oneDay
d1 == d2
