How to compare the current system time with two timing?

Question

want to get the current system time and compare with the two different timing example startwindow time as 2:00:00AM and endWindowTime as 6:00:00AM. if my current system time falls between these window i have to execute my rest of the code.
my below code works for fine for JAVA 1.6 version when i do the same code with JAVA 1.4 i am getting different date and time
String starTime=(String) NightlyvendorStatus[0].getPropertyValue("startTime");
  String endTime=(String) NightlyvendorStatus[0].getPropertyValue("endTime");
  Date windowStarttime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss").parse(starTime);
  Date windowEndtime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss").parse(endTime);
  Date systemdate = new Date();
  SimpleDateFormat parser = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
  String systemTime=parser.format(systemdate);
  Date currentTime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss").parse(systemTime);
  if (currentTime.after(windowStarttime) && currentTime.before(windowEndtime)){
--- rest logic here---}
the output from JAVA 1.4 IS Thu Jan 01 02:00:00 GMT 1970 Thu Jan 01 06:00:00 GMT 1970 Thu Jan 01 03:23:00 GMT 1970
HOW TO DO this logic..

Hi,
You can try converting dates into timestamp and compare just like as comparing two integers variables.
