Hi
what is the easiest way to convert EST to GMT using Java?
Since GMT is immunte to daylight saving differences, we cannot depend
on a constant difference.
TIA

Java stores its dates internally in UTC (GMT). Whenever you display a
date it chooses a timezone (usually the local default) and figures out
it DST was in effect at that time.

In other words, Java handles this for you.
