Time Format in Jasper Report using Jaspersoft Studio

[eeshachhabra]

I am using Jaspersoft Studio 6.4.3 to create report. I want to show time in EST format as Wed, Nov 15, 2017 12:12 AM EST.  Below is what I have given as expression in the text field

new SimpleDateFormat("E, MMM dd, YYYY  HH:mm a z").format(new java.util.Date()) and am getting the output as Wed, Nov 15, 2017 12:12 AM GMT+05:30.

Pleae help to get the output in desired format i.e. Wed, Nov 15, 2017 12:12 AM EST.

Thanks in advance.

Use Text Field. Expression = new java.util.Date(). And then in Patter enter desired format.

Thanks for your response.

I tried text field expression new java.util.Date(). But still am getting Tue, Feb 06, 2018, 12:48 PM GMT+05:30. I want the date to be in format in EST i.e. like tis Tue, Feb 06, 2018, 12:48 PM EST.

I am using this format in pattern field E, MMM dd, YYYY HH:mm a z. 

How to convert this time to EST time?

Here explained how to do it using java. But it'll involve creating custom class and using it as scriptlet in report.

Thanks a lot. I am able to achieve it by doing formatting in java and passing it as a parameter to jrxml file.
