Correction:
I use the following:
Date dtDateTime = new Date(); // Or whatever else it is to be
GregorianCalendar gcUK = new GregorianCalendar(Locale.UK);
TimeZone tzUK = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/London");
gcUK.setTimeZone(tzUK);
gcUK.setTime(dtDateTime);
DateFormat dfUK =
SimpleDateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(SimpleDateFormat.MEDIUM,
SimpleDateFormat.MEDIUM, Locale.UK);
dfUK.setCalendar(gcUK);
String sDate = dfUK.format(dtDateTime);
I cannot remember now why I repeat "dtDateTime", but it works for me.
