In Java, you can use the java.util.TimeZone class to set the time zone. There are two common methods for setting the time zone.

  1. Get the timezone based on the given ID.
TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York");
  1. This method returns a TimeZone object based on the specified ID.
TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+2");

After setting the time zone, it can be applied to date and time operations that need to consider time zones, such as formatting dates and parsing strings into dates.

Furthermore, you can also utilize the classes in the java.time package (available in Java 8 and higher) to handle dates and times, and use the ZoneId class to set time zones. For example:

ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of("America/New_York");

The above is a common method for setting time zone in Java.
