Epoch is used to compare dates with the some other dates or dates with the other time format mathematically. That's why it is being used through out the whole programming world.

Epoch is used to compare dates with the some other dates or dates with the other time format mathematically. That's why it is being used through out the whole programming world.

We can get epoch time in java using the system's current time. The windows epoch is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1601. Here is the full example code of GetEpochTimeWindows.java as follows:

GetEpochTimeWindows.java


import java.util.Calendar;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;



public class GetEpochTimeWindows {

  public static void  main(String arg[]) {

  try{

  // Getting the current epoch time

  long epoch = System.currentTimeMillis()/1000;

  System.out.println("Epoch time =>"+ epoch);

  //  Convert from Readable date to epoch

  System.out.println("Parsed date=>"+ 

   new SimpleDateFormat ("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss")

   .parse("01/01/1601 00:00:00"));

  }catch(Exception e){

  System.out.println(e.getMessage());

  }

  }

}

Output of the program :

C:\javaexamples>javac GetEpochTimeWindows.java

C:\javaexamples>java GetEpochTimeWindows
Epoch time =>1224506823
Parsed date=>Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 1601
