Tip: Understanding the Usage of the OffsetDateTime Class

This class belong to java.time package. There are many options available, but here we will be using the ZoneId to get the current time.

import java.time.*;

public class UsingOffsetDateTime
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
      UsingOffsetDateTime usingOffsetDateTime = new UsingOffsetDateTime();
      usingOffsetDateTime.proceed();
   }

   private void proceed() 
   {
      OffsetDateTime offsetDateTime = OffsetDateTime.now(ZoneId.systemDefault());
      System.out.println("Current time in your location: " + offsetDateTime.now());
   }
}

/*

Expected output:

[root@mypc]# java UsingOffsetDateTime
Current time in your location: 2018-05-12T13:54:47.295+05:30
