      Just make a call to TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT")
      and use it in the SimpleDateFormat class, see the output.

      Since GMT is the civil name for UTC and is a time reference
      point, also for scientific calculations, it should no be affected
      by any Daylight Saving Time adjustments.
