转换UTC当前日期时间:

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");

DateTimeZone dateTimeZone = DateTimeZone.getDefault(); //Default Time Zone

DateTime currDateTime = new DateTime(); //Current DateTime

long utcTime = dateTimeZone.convertLocalToUTC(currDateTime .getMillis(), false);

String currTime = formatter.print(utcTime); //UTC time converted to string from long in format of formatter

currDateTime = formatter.parseDateTime(currTime); //Converted to DateTime in UTC

转换UTC当前日期时间:

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");

DateTimeZone dateTimeZone = DateTimeZone.getDefault(); //Default Time Zone

DateTime currDateTime = new DateTime(); //Current DateTime

long utcTime = dateTimeZone.convertLocalToUTC(currDateTime .getMillis(), false);

String currTime = formatter.print(utcTime); //UTC time converted to string from long in format of formatter

currDateTime = formatter.parseDateTime(currTime); //Converted to DateTime in UTC

此代码打印当前UTC时间。

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;


public class Test
{
    public static void main(final String[] args) throws ParseException
    {
        final SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z");
        f.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
        System.out.println(f.format(new Date()));
    }
}

结果

2013-10-26 14:37:48 UTC

其实不是时间，而是它的表现形式可以改变。

SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss");
f.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
System.out.println(f.format(new Date()));

地球上任何地方的时间都是一样的，但我们对时间的感知可能会因地点的不同而不同。

这是我的实现:

public static String GetCurrentTimeStamp()
{
    Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
    long offset = cal.getTimeZone().getOffset(System.currentTimeMillis());//if you want in UTC else remove it .
    return new java.sql.Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis()+offset).toString();    
}

这里还有一个获取GMT时间戳对象的建议:

import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.util.Calendar;

...

private static Timestamp getGMT() {
   Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
   return new Timestamp(cal.getTimeInMillis()
                       -cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET)
                       -cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET));
}
