How can I get the current date and time in UTC or GMT in Java?

To get the current date and time in UTC or GMT in Java, you can use the Instant class from the java.time package. The Instant class represents a single point in time in the ISO-8601 calendar system, with a resolution of nanoseconds.

Here is an example of how you can use the Instant class to get the current date and time in UTC or GMT in Java:

import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class CurrentDateTimeExample {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Get the current date and time in UTC
    Instant instant = Instant.now();

    // Set the time zone to GMT
    ZoneId zone = ZoneId.of("GMT");

    // Format the date and time as a string
    DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    String dateTime = instant.atZone(zone).format(formatter);

    System.out.println("Current date and time (GMT): " + dateTime);
  }
}

This example uses the now() method of the Instant class to get the current date and time in UTC, and then sets the time zone to GMT using the ZoneId class. Finally, it formats
