first  it s easy to convert a Date to an Instant  Instant timestamp   new Date   toInstant       Then  you can convert the Instant to any date api in jdk 8 using ofInstant   method   LocalDateTime date   LocalDateTime ofInstant timestamp  ZoneId systemDefault

User · Answer

You can convert in one line    public static LocalDate getLocalDateFromDate Date date      return LocalDate from Instant ofEpochMilli date getTime    atZone ZoneId systemDefault

User · Answer

Date input   new Date    LocalDateTime  conv LocalDateTime ofInstant input toInstant    ZoneId systemDefault     LocalDate convDate conv toLocalDate      The Date instance does contain time too along with the date while LocalDate doesn t  So you can firstly convert it into LocalDateTime using its method ofInstant   then if you want it without time then convert the instance into LocalDate

Better way is   Date date        Instant ofEpochMilli date getTime    atZone ZoneId systemDefault    toLocalDate     Advantages of this version    works regardless the input is an instance of java util Date or it s a subclass of java sql Date  unlike  JodaStephen s way   This is common with JDBC-originated data  java sql Date toInstant   always throws an exception  it s the same for JDK8 and JDK7 with JSR-310 backport   I personally use an utility class  but it is not backport-compatible           Utilities for conversion between the old and new JDK date types      between   code java util Date  and   code java time              lt p gt     All methods are null-safe      public class DateConvertUtils                   Calls   link  asLocalDate Date  ZoneId   with the system default

      The asLocalDate   method here is null-safe  uses toLocalDate    if input is java sql Date  it may be overriden by the JDBC driver to avoid timezone problems or unnecessary calculations   otherwise uses the abovementioned method

Short answer  Date input   new Date    LocalDate date   input toInstant   atZone ZoneId systemDefault    toLocalDate      Explanation  Despite its name  java util Date represents an instant on the time-line  not a  date   The actual data stored within the object is a long count of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00 00Z  midnight at the start of 1970 GMT UTC    The equivalent class to java util Date in JSR-310 is Instant  thus there is a convenient method toInstant   to provide the conversion   Date input   new Date    Instant instant   input toInstant      A java util Date instance has no concept of time-zone  This might seem strange if you call toString   on a java util Date  because the toString is relative to a time-zone  However that method actually uses Java s default time-zone on the fly to provide the string  The time-zone is not part of the actual state of java util Date   An Instant also does not contain any information about the time-zone  Thus  to convert from an Instant to a local date it is necessary to specify a time-zone  This might be the default zone - ZoneId systemDefault   - or it might be a time-zone that your application controls  such as a time-zone from user preferences  Use the atZone   method to apply the time-zone   Date input   new Date    Instant instant   input toInstant    ZonedDateTime zdt   instant atZone ZoneId systemDefault       A ZonedDateTime contains state consisting of the local date and time  time-zone and the offset from GMT UTC  As such the date - LocalDate - can be easily extracted using toLocalDate     Date input   new Date    Instant instant   input toInstant    ZonedDateTime zdt   instant atZone ZoneId systemDefault     LocalDate date   zdt toLocalDate      Java 9 answer  In Java SE 9  a new method has been added that slightly simplifies this task   Date input   new Date    LocalDate date   LocalDate ofInstant input toInstant    ZoneId systemDefault       This new alternative is more direct  creating less garbage  and thus should perform better

I solved this question with solution below    import org joda time LocalDate    Date myDate   new Date      LocalDate localDate   LocalDate fromDateFields myDate     System out println  My date using Date  Nov 18 11 23 33 BRST 2016     System out println  My date using joda time LocalTime  2016-11-18     In this case localDate print your date in this format  yyyy-MM-dd

LocalDate ld   new java sql Date  new java util Date   getTime     toLocalDate

If you are using ThreeTen Backport including ThreeTenABP     Date input   new Date       Imagine your Date here     LocalDate date   DateTimeUtils toInstant input               atZone ZoneId systemDefault                 toLocalDate     If you are using the backport of JSR 310  either you haven   t got a Date toInstant   method or it won   t give you the org threeten bp Instant that you need for you further conversion  Instead you need to use the DateTimeUtils class that comes as part of the backport  The remainder of the conversion is the same  so so is the explanation

What s wrong with this 1 simple line   new LocalDateTime new Date   getTime    toLocalDate

User · Answer

If you re using Java 8   JodaStephen s answer is obviously the best   However  if you re working with the JSR-310 backport  you unfortunately have to do something like this   Date input   new Date    Calendar cal   Calendar getInstance    cal setTime input   LocalDate date   LocalDate of cal get Calendar YEAR           cal get Calendar MONTH    1          cal get Calendar DAY OF MONTH
