How to convert LocalDateTime to Date in Java

In Java to convert a LocalDateTime object to Date we can follow the steps below.

  • First step, convert the LocalDateTime to Instant object.
  • Second step, create new Date object from the above Instant.

ConvertLocalDateTimeToDateExample1.java 

import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.util.Date;

public class ConvertLocalDateTimeToDateExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        LocalDateTime localDateTime = LocalDateTime.now();
        Instant instant = localDateTime.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant();
        Date date = Date.from(instant);

        System.out.println("LocalDateTime: " + localDateTime);
        System.out.println("Date: " + date);
    }
}
The output as below. 
LocalDateTime: 2022-04-24T13:21:05.008692700
