Unix time to standard time

Question

hi,
i am writing a program to convert Unix time in the normal date. I wrote the
following program. The Input is not converted properly to the normal date.
It prints date without any issue but the time is not correct. As per the java docs
about the date constructor the value should be calculated from
01/01/1970 00:00:00 but mine one by default shows 01/01/1970 07:30:00
I don't know from where 07:30 is coming by default.
Looking forward for the suggestions.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
    public class unixTime{
        public static void main ( String [] args ) throws IOException
            int dateinsec = 0;
               long t =  dateinsec * 1000L; 
               SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
               Date regDate = null;
               regDate = new Date(t);
               System.out.println("Formatted date is: " + formatter.format(regDate));
    }Thanks.
Corrected thanks

Extremely sorry.No worries. Just don't do it again please.
In the future, if you do post in the wrong place and want to repost the question in the right place, just go back to your original, and provide a reply that says something like "move to" + the URL of your new thread, so there's one coherent discussion and people don't duplicate each others' efforts.
