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());

我不知道这是新的想法或其他，但我给你展示我所做的

SimpleDateFormat dtf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date td_date = new Date();
String first_date = dtf.format(td_date);    //First seted in String 
String second_date = "30/11/2020";          //Second date you can set hear in String

String result = (first_date.equals(second_date)) ? "Yes, Its Equals":"No, It is not Equals";
System.out.println(result);

    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。

使用Apache commons你可以做到:

import org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DateUtils

DateUtils.truncatedEquals(first, second, Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)

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

使用SimpleDateFormat的getDateInstance，我们只能比较两个没有时间的日期对象。执行下面的代码。

public static void main(String[] args) {        
        Date date1  = new Date();
        Date date2  = new Date();
        DateFormat dfg = SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.DATE_FIELD);
        String dateDtr1 = dfg.format(date1);
        String dateDtr2 = dfg.format(date2);
        System.out.println(dateDtr1+" : "+dateDtr2);
        System.out.println(dateDtr1.equals(dateDtr2));  

    }
