title: Java get UTC time
body: <p>I want to get the time in UTC time zone. So I wrote the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.time.ZoneOffset;
  import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
  import java.util.Date;
  
  public class RegularSandbox {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
  
          ZonedDateTime utc = ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneOffset.UTC);
  
          System.out.println("DATETIME = " + Date.from(utc.toInstant()));
  
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is the output shows me the time in PST (my local timezone). I need it to output the time in UTC so I can store it inside of my databases.</p>
