How to get Date in the below Format "dd MMM, yyyy z"

How to make the date to have a GMT offset like mentioned here

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.lang.*;

class TFTest
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM, yyyy z");
        Date dt = new Date();
        System.out.println("\n\n\nparsed date:"+sdf.format(dt)+"\n\n");
    }
}

the above program outputs the value as parsed date:02 Aug, 2016 IST.

But I want the value to be parsed date:02 Aug, 2016 GMT +05:30

How to get in the specified format ..?

This pattern "dd MMM, yyyy z ZZZZ" will print in the given format

Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM, yyyy z ZZZZ");

Result like : 02 Aug, 2016 GMT +0000

The pattern that should work is dd MMM, yyyy 'GMT' XXX indeed X is the timezone in ISO 8601 which seems to be what you are looking for.

Output:

parsed date:02 Aug, 2016 GMT +05:30
