Java date and time issue with BBB

this means that we need a way to set the time when the board is running. If you wish to set the time you could do it on a once-off basis…

Next, find a NTP server that is close to your location. We need to do this to be good ‘ntp citizens’ as it is not good to use a NTP root server as they are already heavily loaded … it is better to use a NTP pool server that is close to your location in order to help with load balancing.

The LocalTime class is similar to the other classes whose names are prefixed with Local, but deals in time only. This class is useful for representing human-based time of day, such as movie times, or the opening and closing times of the local library. It could also be used to create a digital clock, as shown in the following example:

LocalTime thisSec;

for (;;) {

    thisSec = LocalTime.now();

    // implementation of display code is left to the reader

    display(thisSec.getHour(), thisSec.getMinute(), thisSec.getSecond());

}

The LocalTime class does not store time zone or daylight saving time information.

Had the same issue. Thankfully resolved.
