这对我来说很管用:

var Date1 = new Date(dateObject1.toDateString()); //this sets time to 00:00:00
var Date2 = new Date(dateObject2.toDateString()); 
//do a normal compare
if(Date1 > Date2){ //do something }

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

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());

使用Apache commons你可以做到:

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

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

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));  

    }

如果严格使用Date (java.util.Date)，或者不使用任何外部库。用这个:

public Boolean compareDateWithoutTime(Date d1, Date d2) {
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
    return sdf.format(d1).equals(sdf.format(d2));
}
