Converting from Java Timestamp to Oracle Timestamp

In my java project I'm trying to create a timestamp that will be stored later in the database (Oracle Database). After many trials I found that the timestamp my java code generates is in the following format:

2017-06-20 14:38:12.296

and the timestamp format in Oracle is like: 

20-JUN-19 02.38.55.059000000 PM

Is there a way to convert the java format of timestamp to oracle's format?

My code for creating the timestamp:

Date date = new Date();
long time = date.getTime();
Timestamp timeStamp = new Timestamp(time);

I have tried so many timestamps conversions but with no use.

To add from QuaternionsRock's answer, since it's not tested, you can always use DateFormat.

From his link, you can see the following example, which I am able to test with a date such as 20-JUN-19 06.06.05.112 PM. 

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy HH.mm.ss.SSS a");
Date date = df.parse(oracleTS);
Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(date.getTime());

There does not need to be two a in the DateFormat string, contrary to what is posted in QuaternionsRock' link.

From here:

java.sql.Timestamp javaTimeStamp = oracleTimeStamp.timestampValue();

I can't say I've tested it but it seems logical to me.
